Your Ideas, Our Policy

Shape what we do, what we debate and what we campaign on.

Our policies are created and decided by students, covering a wide range of areas such as sustainability, equal rights, education and much more. Once an idea passes at Senate or Referenda, it becomes policy for three years.
