The NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, together with 5 other Jewish communal bodies, has tonight released a joint statement in relation to University of Sydney. Executive Council of Australian Jewry Zionist Federation of Australia AUJS AIJAC

We continue to explore all options to ensure the safety and wellbeing of students and staff at the University of Sydney and stand ready to provide support and assistance to Jewish students and staff at the University, as well as those who now wish to leave the University.

AUJS and five other Jewish communal bodies are appalled by the University of Sydney's agreement with extremists, compromising campus safety and incentivising further disruption. We have lost confidence in their ability to protect Jewish students.

I welcome today’s apology by Mark Scott regarding antisemitism at Sydney University. As he admits, Sydney Uni has failed its Jewish students and staff. Vice Chancellor Scott has committed to do better and for University of Sydney to do better. I expect him to deliver. AUJS

Today’s Senate Inquiry has highlighted Jewish students are pulling back from attending university because they do not feel safe or welcome. This is a tragedy for all of us. Universities must be places where all students are welcome.

This admission by the University of Sydney came after damning evidence from the Australasian Union of Jewish Students.

From Monash to La Trobe, young students put their exams and papers on hold today to mark one year since October 7 by commemorating the victims of that horrific day and raising money for devastated communities in northern Israel. Today, you are my heroes. AUJS

"On october 7, I couldn't protect myself, I was powerless," Nova survivor David Bromberg said at an event with AUJS and Diller Teen Fellows in Melbourne, reflecting the helplessness felt by many Israelis that day. The next day, he showed up for reserve duty. #AmIsraelChai

We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in Melbourne following last night's arson attack on the Adass Israel Synagogue. There must be zero tolerance for such heinous violence. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected, and with our sibling movement the AUJS

As someone who works closely with AUJS, I’ve personally witnessed their tireless advocacy and the tremendous impact they’ve made for Jewish students in Australia. Mazel tov on winning the 2025 Student Union of the Year award at the WUJS – World Union of Jewish Students Congress—well deserved!
