Its role is to represent student issues, run campaigns on student initiatives, participate in national education campaigns, support safer spaces on campus, lobby for the reduction of course fees, provide a strategic direction for the UTSSA and ensure that students are represented at all decision-making levels at UTS. These are all discussed and voted on at its monthly meetings.
The Student Representative Council Speaking up for every student.
#What is the SRC?
The SRC is a team of students elected each year by the student body to represent all UTS students and act as the peak governing body for the UTSSA.
The Student Representative Council runs several campaigns around student issues, both campus-specific and national.
#What do we do?
The SRC, through the UTSSA, also runs several campaigns around student issues, both campus-specific, such as the Know Your Union campaign - and national - such as those run by the National Union of Students (NUS) which target the quality of our education, safety on campus, unfair course costs and decreasing HECS.
#How do I get involved?
Elections for the SRC are held annually in October, giving all UTS students a say when it comes to who will represent them and their values. Students are able to nominate to run for a position, and all UTS students are eligible to vote.
Any UTS students are welcome to attend an SRC meeting and participate in our campaigns. Check out our website for more information.
#SRC Executive Team
Neeve Nagle
President
Hello, I’m Neeve, your 2026 UTSSA President. In this role, I represent UTS students, lead the Students’ Association, and coordinate our advocacy, campaigns, and services. I work closely with university leadership and governance bodies to make sure student voices shape decisions, push back on policies that impact students, and advocate for meaningful change across campus. I also support the delivery of student services, campaign for better conditions for students, and build collective power through organising.
I’m focused on making the university work for students in real, practical ways. Particularly, I care about affordable housing both on and off campus, reporting systems that actually work for students, and accessible services people can rely on. I’m committed to defending student rights, supporting welfare initiatives, and building a strong, visible student union. I’m also active in the broader labour movement, focused on collective organising that delivers tangible outcomes for students and young people.

Cam Perez
Assistant General Secretary
Hi everyone, I am Cam, a fourth year Communications & Creative Intelligence and Innovation student at UTS and your Assistant General Secretary at the UTS Students' Association. I joined the Association to strengthen this platform for student voices. I believe student leadership should be collaborative, transparent, and grounded in what students are actually experiencing on campus. Real change comes from strong communication, collective action, and a team willing to do both the visible advocacy and the behind-the-scenes governance work well.
Our goals focus on making campus more affordable, accessible, and accountable; expanding practical student support, strengthening safety and welfare responses, building energised student communities, and ensuring the SRC is a productive space that drives real outcomes. Through this work, we aim to elevate the student experience at University of Technology Sydney and amplify the student voice to university management.

I’m Rose Saksena, UTS International Students’ Representative for 2026. My role is to advocate for international students and help you access the right support, services, and opportunities at UTS. If you’re confused about UTS systems or Australia, feeling overwhelmed, homesick, or just need a friendly starting point, reach out — I’m always happy to chat. You’ll often spot me around campus (usually near Building 8), so feel free to say hi. You can also DM @utsinternationalcollective and I’ll get back to you or connect you with the right team. Come along to International Collective events to meet people and feel grounded.

George Tulloch
Postgraduate Students Officer
I am a postgraduate research student at UTS working at the intersection of engineering, industry, and innovation. I ran for this role because postgraduate students deserve serious representation that reflects the scale of their contribution to the university. We are researchers, professionals, and future leaders, yet our structural challenges are often overlooked.
My focus is on strengthening research advocacy, safe and respectful campus life, improving postgraduate engagement with industry and startups, and ensuring transparent, accountable representation within the SRC. I want postgraduate students organised, informed, and positioned to build Australia's future.
