Governance
The TUSA is governed by a Statewide Board of Management.
TUSA’s Board Composition Looks Like This:
| Role | Number of Members | Voting or Non-Voting | Appointment type |
| Chairperson | 1 | Non-voting, but with a casting vote in a tie | Appointed by University Council in consultation with the Board |
| Members | Up to 3 | Voting | Appointed by the Board in consultation with the State Council. Selected for skills and expertise |
| University Council Members |
|
Voting | Appointed by the University Council, selected for skills and expertise |
| State Council President | 1 | Voting | Ex-officio |
| State Council Representative | 1 | Voting | Appointed by the State Council at their first meeting |
| Past State Council President | 1 | Voting | Ex-officio, or if the immediate past President is unable then they can nominate a previous student Board member |
*Ex-officio means that this Board Member is not elected to the position on the Board; rather, they are automatically a Member because the role they have has been identified as essential.
Student Board members hold office until 30 November each year.
Furthermore, the Board of Management has two subcommittees: Finance, Risk, Audit & Compliance (FRAC) Committee, and the Governance & Nominations Committee, which both meet bimonthly and are comprised of nominated Board Members and TUSA Executive staff.
The State Council sits under the Board and has sub-committees under it. For more information about Student Structures, please refer to the Representation section.
