to ensure student control of student affairs at Deakin University.
DUSA is one of the
largest student organisations in the country, representing more than 30 000
students. Representation of all Deakin students is embodied in DUSA’s
constitution and is assured with a structure of a university-wide student council
and campus-based committees elected yearly. DUSA services are available to
all students regardless of study mode. DUSA’s aim is to enhance the total
Deakin experience for all members by providing effective representation and
meaningful services.
DUSA’s strategic direction is encompassed in its strategic plan.
