SUPRA is composed of professional caseworkers and democratically elected representatives who work towards the improvement of student issues and rights within the University and towards society at large.

SUPRA also works to prevent many of these issues from occurring by consulting with areas of the University's governance and addressing gaps in their policies that adversely affect students.

We also work to represent students more broadly, where individual representation might be difficult due to concerns of reprisal, or to ensure that there is an equal playing field against larger institutions.

During the time of Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU), under the Presidency of Jenny Leong, SUPRA secured the funding from the University it required to prosper as an organisation.

SUPRA annually elects an executive team consisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasury and Education Officers.
