The Candidate Handbook:
What You Need to Know

Curious about the SRC? The Candidate Handbook is a practical guide covering responsibilities, opportunities, and the impact you can make with UNSA at the University of Newcastle.

Voting opens Monday 21st September 2026, 9am.

So, what's it like being in the SRC?

“Being elected as an SRC member literally gives you a seat at the table of UNSA’s governance, strategic planning, and input into events and services for students. You’ll get to meet and collaborate with students from all walks of life, and to champion the feedback of your cohort both within and beyond the University. And importantly, have a lot of fun along the way working with the incredible UNSA team!

I’ve been part of the SRC for 3 years as a Vice-President and President, and during this time I’ve learnt so much and had the chance to work with so many inspiring people. I’ve gained confidence by stepping out of my comfort zone and doing things such as talking on local radio stations to advocate for students, or meeting with the Vice-Chancellor.

I’d encourage anyone wanting to get involved with what UNSA does to put yourself out there and nominate for a position! There is a heap of support and training provided to help SRC members succeed in their role and to achieve their goals. This is your chance to leave your mark and create real change for students, so what are you waiting for?”

Georgie Cooper,
UNSA President 2023
