The Guild Council

Find student representation by students, for students

The Guild Council is run by our diverse group of council members to ensure all Murdoch students have a voice! Council members sit on university boards, panels, committees, groups and working parties to ensure that your voice is heard.

The council is made of students elected to be your Guild Executives, Association Presidents, Representatives and Guild Councillors. They are elected by the student body every year to represent student voice to the university and ensure that students are at the forefront of university decision-making.
