The Swinburne Student Forum
The Swinburne Student Forum plays a vital role in SSA’s annual student engagement program – bringing together students from across the university to engage in meaningful dialogue, influence decisions, and shape initiatives that strengthen Swinburne student experience.
Guided by Swinburne’s Student Experience Framework, this initiative recognises students as active partners in shaping the learning, support, and social environments that define their Swinburne journey. It aims to create an inclusive space where students can share insights, raise challenges, and solutions that reflect the diverse needs of the Swinburne community.
