1. Equity in Representation Student Partner Casual
We're seeking a curious and insightful student partner to help explore equity in student representation at UOW.
As a paid casual Student Partner, you'll work alongside staff and students to investigate how students from identified equity cohorts engage in student representation, partnership and student voice opportunities. Using a mix of existing data, student consultation and research, you'll help uncover who participates, who is missing, and why.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys asking questions, joining the dots, and uncovering patterns, opportunities and gaps that may not be immediately obvious.
You don't need to be a data expert. We're looking for curiosity, critical thinking and an interest in understanding the experiences of students from identified equity cohorts.
The primary skills required in this role will be:
- An interest in equity and the lived experiences of diverse student groups.
- Curiosity and confidence working with information from multiple sources.
- The ability to look beyond the headline findings and explore the stories behind the data.
- Strong listening, probing and critical thinking skills.
- The ability to work as a team to identify and communicate themes, insights and recommendations clearly.
This role is funded through a 2026 Equity in Action Grant, with Phase 1 of the project running through to December 2026. You’ll be required to be available until December 2026.

These consultation sessions have now concluded.
UOW plans to bring together a range of student services on the Ground Floor of the Library to create a more connected and accessible experience for all students.
Key feedback from students
The following feedback was received from students in a consultation session on 14 October, 2025.
- The ground floor of the library is a valuable space for group and individual study. It has a good balance of quiet for study but enough noise that you can have a conversation. Any changes to this space shouldn't take away the focus on study.
- Students worry that introducing AskUOW services might change the current vibe and disrupt the calm environment.
- Careers and academic support are valued but need to be easier to find and access. Having the Student Success Hub in building 19 makes it hard to find. Students agreed that locating this service to the Library would make it more accessible and visible.
- The idea of installing computers where students can book appointments and find information was welcomed.
- Improvements could be made to make the space more welcoming to Indigenous Students.
- Students value the services provided by the Academic Skills Centre within the library and discussed that it was easy to find, locate and loved that they could book appointments and use drop in assistance as needed
