JCU recognises that students have a significant contribution to make in the development of the University There are opportunities for students to get involved through membership of the following bodies. In addition, students will be informed when other representation opportunities arise with schools, faculties or university units.
JCU Council
JCU Council is the governing body of the University and recognises the importance of student perspectives in decision-making. Accordingly, the JCU Council includes one student member (either undergraduate or postgraduate), elected every two years. The student member may also serve on selected Council Committees.
The Academic Board, which is a Committee of Council and is skills-based, has one undergraduate and one postgraduate student appointed to the Board by the Academic Board Executive following an expression of interest process.
Student members serve in an individual capacity and are not a representative of the student body. They are drawn from a particular constituency but are not to act as delegates speaking for and reporting back to that constituency. However the Council and its Committees welcome the student perspective in decision-making processes.
Find out more about JCU Council.
Student Council (JCUSA)
The JCUSA Student Council is a formal body of elected student representatives and others. As a student representative you can actively promote student issues and concerns to the University as well as to local and federal governments.

President
Vice President
Equity & Diversity Officer
Townsville Campus Officer
