The Murdoch University Guild of Students is the student representative association of the University and the recognised channel of communication between the student community and the University Senate.
All enrolled students automatically become Basic Guild members unless they specifically opt out of membership; this enables them to be represented by the Guild. All students also have the choice of becoming Financial members; this entitles them to the full range of the Guild’s support services, programs and discounts.
The Guild represents its members within the University as well as to external bodies such as government. Within the University, Guild representatives sit on University Boards and Committees to advocate for and express the concerns of the student body. The Guild provides assistance for students in disputes such as appeals against unit grades or cases of sexual or racial discrimination, and represents student views and opinions to government departments on issues such as Youth Allowance, Austudy and other Centrelink payments.
