About FAMSY
FAMSY is a professional Muslim student and youth organisation, that is committed to the education, training and development of future community leaders. Through its Tarbiyah and other programs, based on a balanced Islamic methodology, FAMSY, with integrity and excellence in all we do, strives to develop students and youth for the betterment of the Australian community.

History
The history of FAMSY began with the formation of the Muslim Students Association of Queensland MSAQ at Queensland University in 1964. In 1966, during the AFIS (predecessor of AFIC) congress, MSAQ suggested that each University in Australia should set up its own Muslim Students Association (MSA).

Later MSAs were established in Adelaide, Armidale, Melbourne, Newcastle and Tasmania.

In 1968, the six pioneer MSAs founded Australian Federation of Muslim Students Associations AFMSA. In 1983 AFMSA became "Ittihad al Jamaat Al-Islamiah" (Federation of Islamic groups), and its membership was then also opened to non-students. In 1991 this name was changed to FAMSY (Federation of Australian Muslim Students and Youth).
