Student Equity and Inclusion Network (SEIN) is an advisory and information sharing committee to help inform initiatives, action plans, emerging priorities, and opportunities. Started in 2024, it's part of our broader plan called Students as Partners that aims to bring students closer to our decision-making and planning.
We're seeking expressions of interest from Higher Education and TAFE students to join the Student Equity and Inclusion Network.
Why join?
We want the University to be a safe, accessible and inclusive place to study. One that actually walks the talk about accommodating and celebrating diversity. Where we put good ideas that will make a difference into practice.
But to do that, we need input from our students. People with ideas on their lived experience.
Have your voice heard and be part of making positive change.
Who should join?
To ensure intersectional diversity, we’re seeking students with a broad range of perspectives and experiences:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People
- Experience of out-of-home care including kinship, foster and residential care
- Culture and ethnicity
- Faith
- Disability and accessibility
- Diverse genders and sexualities
- Gender equality
- International students
- Students who are carers
- Student safety
What does it involve?
You're expected to attend at least three of the four online meetings per year. Read SEIN's Terms of Reference for more detailed information.
What do I get?
Not only do you get to share your experiences and help shape a more inclusive university, but you’ll also receive a $50 stipend every meeting you attend.
How do I join?
Please complete this Expression of Interest form by 3 August, 2025.
Once that’s done, a panel will select student members to promote diversity within the network.
