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).

Join a club

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 like helping newbies? Peer Mentoring could be your jam. Aced a tough class? Help others as a PASS Leader. Or, you could be the know-it-all (in the best way) as a Student Academic Leader at the Ask Desk + so much more.

Quick chat, big impact!

Heya, We’re looking for first, second and third year students to help make the Current Students website even better. If you’ve used the website in the past two weeks, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

What’s involved?

  • A casual 30-45 minute interview where you’ll get to share your feedback and ideas.
  • Plus, you'll receive a $50 Prezzee voucher as a thank you!

Spaces are limited, so hurry, send your name, field of study, and year level to s.winnell@federation.com.au.

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!

Join a committee

Nominations are open for students to join the Academic Board, Learning and Teaching Quality Committee, and Research Committee. You have until Friday, 27 September 2024, to get your nominations in.

Here’s a little bonus

A lot of the on-campus support roles are paid. Yep, you read that right! We usually offer them every semester before the new cohort arrives. Some you apply for, others you get elected into. Bookmark the Student Leadership Hub, and watch for e-newsletters and posters around campus for updates.
