### Want **to make a difference to graduate students?**

**Get involved in student led positions for a richer student experience.**

Whether that’s advocating for change, providing support or acting as a representative between students and the University, we offer a number of student led roles to enrolled graduate students at the University of Melbourne to help improve student life.

We offer positions to students in the following areas:

- [**Board**](https://gsa.unimelb.edu.au/about-us/our-people/board/) – Members of the Board fulfill the legal obligations of the Association, provide governance and compliance oversight of GSA.
- [Representative council](https://gsa.unimelb.edu.au/about-us/our-people/rep-council/) – GSA represents graduate students at the University through 12 elected representatives. These representatives look after the needs of groups of students, such as women, students with families, LGBTQIA+ students and more.
- [Faculty council](https://gsa.unimelb.edu.au/about-us/our-people/faculty-council/) – Faculty Council Members serve as representatives and advocates for students of their respective faculty.

**ONLY GSA members are eligible to nominate/apply for these roles.**

A casual vacancy occurs when a board, representative council, or faculty council position becomes vacant or was not filled in the last election. Members appointed through a casual vacancy serve until the conclusion of the first annual general meeting following their appointment.

### Current casual vacancies
