Co-Options
Co-Option is when our committee holds interviews to hand-pick the best, the skilled and the brightest to join us as central committee members. Because it is competitive, it is recommended that applicants have relevant experience to the role they are applying for. Co-options typically occur in semester 2 (August) annually.
Co-Option requirements
All students of the University of Melbourne will be eligible to run for Co-Option. Applications for the 2024-2025 intake is open from Monday, August 12th, to Friday, August 23rd 2024!
