Hi everyone,

If this is your first time at ANU - welcome! And if you’re a returning student - welcome back.

I’m Charley Ellwood (he/him), President of the ANU Students’ Association (ANUSA), the peak representative body for all ANU students. ANUSA is your student union - run by students, for students. We provide financial assistance, academic advocacy, and free legal advice, while also representing your interests in university decision-making. Our clubs scene is a great way to meet people, explore your interests, and find your community at ANU.

Most importantly, ANUSA is your voice. We’re here to make sure students are heard and supported every step of the way. Whether you’re just starting out or close to graduating, I hope you will enjoy O-week to kick start the semester and all the best for 2026.

Sincerely,

Charley Ellwood
