Purpose and Services
The SRC provides a variety of free services to support undergraduate students. These include a free legal service that assists students in legal matters and a casework service offering advice on academic appeals, University policy, Centrelink, tenancy issues, and more[1][2]. The SRC also supports various student activism efforts, focusing on advocacy and representation across several key areas such as education, feminist justice, environmentalism, First Nations justice, and queer rights[2][5].

Activism and Advocacy
The SRC is renowned for its active engagement in student activism and advocacy. It organizes protests, provides public commentary, and engages in lobbying activities aimed at influencing policies that affect its members, particularly those considered disadvantageous to students[5]. This commitment reflects its motto: "Activism, Advocacy, Representation."

Hello the loyal readership of the student body. Hope we’re staying woke. Now that the dust is nearly settled following the Federal Election, it’s clear that Australia, and in particular students, chose to not risk Dutton and the coalition. As you are likely aware, not only did they fail to form a government, but also Peter Dutton lost his own seat, which is the cherry on top. The Don’t Risk Dutton campaign was an example of a highly successful grassroots campaign led by the union movement and I’m proud the USyd SRC could be even a small part of it with our BBQ stalls and social media content. However, that doesn’t mean the work is done. We have to keep pushing Labor to be better for students and follow through with all the demands of the Australian University Accord. We can’t stay put while the government is static during an ongoing genocide in Gaza or the continuing rising inequality in our own nation which disproportionately affects students. Stay tuned to hear what’s next with the SRC. Beyond that, I’ve done a lot of work on university level issues. I’m advocating alongside SUPRA for a canteen on campus that can provide $5 meals, hopefully to be ready early next year at latest. The huge wait times students face when submitting an academic appeal has been raised in multiple committees and the university has positively responded by putting more staff on the appeals board. Also trying to move the SRC office so it’s even more visible to students and it’s a better place to work. In solidarity, Angus (fb)
This Thursday 15 May 6:15pm at QVB statue at Town Hall, Sydney PROTEST 77 YEARS OF NAKBA Stop the genocide! Thursday 15 May marks 77 years since the Nakba, the catastrophe, when the state of Israel was created through massacres, terror and mass ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population. The Nakba never ended, and today we continue to see the same, if not more extreme, barbarity against the Palestinian people as when the state of Israel was created. We must come out in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Be there on 15 May to join students for Palestine at the protest. #freepalestine #freegaza #palestine (fb)
