The operations of NUS are dominated by several different organised factions, often with close ties to the youth wings of Australian political parties. Current factions at NUS include the National Organisation of Labor Students (NOLS), the Australian Labor Students (ALS), Student Unity, the Australian Liberal Students Federation (ALSF), the National Broad Left (NBL), the NLC (the international students faction), and the Independents (who organise as a faction).
