We began as a humble society for student debaters and we're proud to be one of few remaining independent, student-led organisations in Australia.The USU is governed by a Board of 13 Directors – 11 elected from and by the membership and two appointed by the University Senate. 

USU provides key programs, services and facilities that enhance campus life for the many thousands who join ACCESS and interact with us. All income the USU receives is reinvested in our organisation for the benefit of current and future members of the University community.
