The University of Auckland is a diverse student community of many. The Student Council is a key way of capturing the views of our diverse student communities. We use feedback from our Student Council in submissions and presentations that we make to the University's highest decision-making bodies and committees.

The AUSA Student Council was formed as a result of AUSA's constitutional changes in early 2019. The Council is made up of the Presidents of Faculty Associations (and, where a Faculty has no Faculty Associations, the relevant School Associations) and Representative Groups from across the University.

Real impact. The Student Council has been vital to a lot of AUSA's wins, including the grade bump in Semester 1 of 2020 — a direct result of our powerful, collective student voice.
