Council Of Australian Postgraduate Associations

Recognising the dual roles of many postgraduate students, CAPA works closely in collaboration with the National Union Of Students where matters impact on all students (such as Voluntary Student Unionism and funding for higher education), and with the National Tertiary Education Union regarding issues of employment in the tertiary education sector.

CAPA's offices are in Melbourne, Victoria , and its Annual Council Meeting (ACM), where organisational issues and policy directives are decided, is hosted by a different constituent organisation each year.

ORGANISATION

Each year, at the ACM, the Council elects a nine-member Executive, consisting of the following:

President (a full-time, paid position)

Vice-President

National Secretary

Treasurer

Women's Officer

Indigenous People's Liaison Officer

International Students' Officer

Queer Officer

Chair of the Equity Forum (with responsibility for areas not covered by the other portfolios)

CAPA employs five staff, a General Manager, Research Officer, Financial Officer, Portfolio Research Officer, and an Administrative Officer.

The National Indigenous Postgraduate Association Aboriginal Corporation (NIPAAC) is a separate constituent organisation, representing Indigenous students. NIPAAC employs an Indigenous Research Officer, based at the CAPA offices.
