Call for Submissions - ANUSA Governance Review

Introduction 

As part of our commitment to transparency, inclusivity, and continuous improvement, we're conducting a governance review. This review involves closely examining how ANUSA operates and we want your thoughts and suggestions to help us make it even better. 

The review aims to enhance ANUSA's effectiveness in representing and serving all students at ANU, including our newly represented post-graduate students. The review will be thoroughly examining various aspects, including our structure, practices, and decision-making mechanisms, to ensure they align with the diverse needs and voices of the student body.

Your insights and perspectives are invaluable to this process. We're seeking input from all ANU students to ensure that the governance review accurately reflects the needs and aspirations of the student community. Whether you've been involved with ANUSA or not, your contribution matters. 

We invite you to share your thoughts, suggestions, and experiences to help shape the future of ANUSA. Your input will play a crucial role in making ANUSA a more responsive and inclusive  
student-led organisation.
