Who are we?
The Student Senate is the University's peak student representative body. We are here to:
- raise your feedback with senior University staff,
- advocate on your behalf and represent Federation students,
- help you find the right university service on campus and online,
- work with you to propose a change at Federation University.
Every Student Senate Representative gets their hands on the Student Senate Induction Manual. It's like your ultimate guide to rocking it in the Senate!
What do we do?
We are governed by our Terms of Reference v.7 (pdf 274kb).
