Students as Partners

Collaborate, Innovate, Elevate

Students as Partners is our way of saying that when it comes to running a university, we’re committed to giving our students a voice and a seat at the table. 

We’re talking the leadership, planning and decision-making. Because you’re the experts at knowing what you need to make your life at uni the best it can be. What needs a tweak, what needs to stay the same and what needs significant change.

We really do listen. See how your recent feedback is leading to real changes here >

We’ve already got quite a few ways you can get involved and we’re going to keep adding more.

Share your two cents

We’re always running surveys—quick, easy. keep an eye on the weekly e-newsletter and student news page for that latest round of surveys for your chance to chime in (and maybe even win a voucher while you’re at it).

Make new friends, have a blast, and start gathering those all-important leadership skills by stepping up on the organising committee or pitching in as a volunteer.

Jump right in

Join the Student Senate. Or, if you aced a tough class, help others as a PASS Leader. Or, you could be the know-it-all (in the best way) as a Peer Learning Mentor at the Peer Support Desk + so much more.

Quick chat, big impact!

At Federation University we are always looking for students to talk to about improving our digital experience and making sure we have the right tools that are easy to use.

Enter your details on the form below and we may contact you through the year (you can say no at any time) to talk through some designs or a prototype for about 40 minutes with a $50 gift card to thank you for your help.

Leading the way

Top projects shaped by students to meet their needs:

Student Ambassadors

Instead of just telling people why they should study at Fed, we show them. Our Student Ambassadors are the face of Fed. They’re the ones you meet at Open Days and watch on TikTok—no paid actors here, just real Fed students.

Student Equity & Inclusion Network (SEIN)

Have your voice heard and be part of driving positive change. We’re committed to intersectional diversity and need changemakers—students with great ideas and a passion for making a difference. If you can spot the difference between what looks good on paper and what actually works, we want you!
