Abstract: The role of the international student adviser was once largely confined to orientation activities, the odd critical incident and welfare and counselling during the student’s stay in Australia. Progressively over the years, the role has changed. Federal government legislation, increasing competition amongst universities for the international student market and increasing numbers which have in some part being influenced by the incentives in the Migration Act have all contributed in their way to the demands and role of the International Student Adviser.

Key words: ISA, international student adviser, working with international students, networking, strategic management
