What is the Student Board

The JCU Brisbane Student Board serves as the primary student representative body at James Cook University, Brisbane campus. With delegated authority from the Office of the Education Division, the Student Board's purpose is to ensure the provision of high-quality student services, amenities, wellbeing and advocacy.

The JCU Brisbane Student Board is also charged with the responsibility to assure appropriate expenditure of Student Services Amenities Fee revenue in accordance with the Higher Education Support (Student Services, Amenities, Representation and Advocacy) Guidelines 2022.

By establishing the JCU Brisbane Student Board, we aim to create a platform for effective student representation and ensure that the student community's needs are addressed, providing a well-rounded and fulfilling university experience for all JCU Brisbane students.

The elected officer bearers (members) are responsible for the governance and policy direction of the Student Board on behalf of the greater student cohort. Members must act honestly, in good faith and in the interest of students, without favour and exercise due care and diligence over the funds entrusted to the Student Board. They must not use their position to gain personal advantage or to cause detriment to the Board.
