Queer Collaborations




It is often referred to as a Student conference, although that is not strictly true. The majority of delegates are students, but the facilitation Collective s have not usually restricted registration. The conference has traditionally been supported by the National Union Of Students Of Australia (NUS) and has used the NUS Standing Orders , but officially the conference is autonomous and not affiliated with NUS.


HISTORY

The conference began in 1991 as a one day meeting of students from Universities around Sydney . Eventually QC expanded to its current format of a one-week national conference.

A recent challenge to the conference occurred in 2001 in Newcastle , when a political dispute caused the conference floor to split. Many of the delegates left the conference, and formed their own conference in a bar down the street.
