Can you help shape a better higher education sector?
We’re expanding the student voices we engage, beyond elected student representatives. Students currently enrolled with an Australian higher education provider are encouraged to express their interest in joining TEQSA’s first Student Advisory Panel.
More information about the panel’s purpose and mission, including the terms of reference, are available at teqsa.gov.au/studentpanel.
Student Advisory Panel members will be appointed for a one-year term and invited to express interest in extending their term for a second year at the conclusion of the first year. Panel members will meet 4 times a year (both online and in person) and will be paid an honorarium for their time.
The Expression of Interest (EOI) is open until Thursday 30 April 2026. Submitting an EOI is free and can be done online.
TEQSA strongly encourages students with diverse backgrounds, diverse experiences and from a range of higher education institutions to express interest in becoming panel members, including those who identify with one or more of these perspectives:
- students from regional and remote areas, or who are using a University Study Hub to undertake their studies
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students
- international students
- first in family students
- students with lived experience of disability, mental health and/or neurodivergence
- LGBTQI+ students
- students over the age of 21 or students who have returned to study after a break of 7 years or more
- part-time students
- students undertaking coursework or research.
