Our priorities

SRC aims and charter

The SRC has identified several priorities for proposed expenditure above and beyond the current level of University expenditure in the allowable spending areas of the SSAF legislation.

These priorities are:

• addressing any issues or concerns students have brought to their attention
• improving different aspects of student life on campus (parking, study spaces, library access)
• creating more social engagement opportunities to help students feel more connected to the MQ community (sports carnival)
• Providing free support to students throughout their journey in Macquarie (professional headshots, subsided food, exam packs)
• Providing financial support to students and student groups to support their learning and experience at MQ
• Improving the safety and welfare of students

SRC Terms of Reference

The SRC represents students in matters concerning:

• services and amenities provided by the University for the benefit of the student community
• the use of the proceeds from Student Services and Amenities Fees (SSAF)
• study and research by the student community
• the welfare of the student community
• the overall student experience at the University

This excludes any matter which does not affect the student community or a cohort of students.
