The Australasian Union of Jewish Students (AUJS) is a federation of Jewish student societies at Australian and New Zealand universities and other higher education institutions. It was founded in 1948 at the University of Sydney and is affiliated with the World Union of Jewish Students. AUJS' constitution lists its four pillars as Judaism, activism, Zionism, and pluralism. AUJS runs social, educational, political and religious events on University campuses.

All of the organisation's activities are based on the four pillars of Judaism, Zionism, Pluralism and Activism.^[1]

AUJS' current Executive Committee members were elected at its Annual General Meeting in 2023.^[2]

AUJS runs various conferences throughout the year, including:

• Political Training Seminar
• JCA Millie Philips Leadership Training Summit
• Summer Camp
• Accelerate Winter Conference

AUJS operates the Taglit-Birthright Israel programs for Australian students. This program offers students subsidised trips to Israel. Every year AUJS sends over 300 participants to Israel on these trips. AUJS also offers other Israeli-based programs, including the Leadership Development Program.

AUJS operates on national, regional and campus levels. Most Regional organisations have a representative on the National Executive. Similarly, each campus organisation has a representative on that Region's Executive. AUJS is an affiliate of the Zionist Federation of Australia and Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
