About Us - The Student Representative Council (SRC)

The Student Representative Council (SRC) is a collective group of students, elected by their peers, and appointed to engage with and advocate for the CQUniversity student community. Members are elected to represent all cohorts and regions across Australia. Your SRC member will listen to and represent your cohort, and directly contribute to enhancing your student experience at CQUniversity. 

This discussion board is for all CQU students to connect with each other and their representative/s. You can use this space to share your thoughts, raise concerns, ask questions, and suggest ideas that could benefit your student community. It’s also a place where your SRC members will share updates, seek feedback, and provide insights into initiatives and decisions that affect the student body.

The SRC generally meets six times a year (twice per HE academic term) for an official meeting. At SRC meetings, members either join in person or dial in via teleconferencing from across the CQU footprint. The council discusses a range of topics that contributes to the improvement of the student experience. Students are welcome to join SRC meetings as observers, provided they RSVP to the meeting in advance. Observers are entitled to see and hear the proceedings of the meeting but have no voting rights and no right to speak at meetings, unless invited to do so by the Chair. 

All students are encouraged to submit topics for discussion at the meetings by approaching an SRC member to draft their own agenda item coversheet.
