Most students don't pay attention to Guild elections. Not because they don't care about UWA, but because they can't clearly see how the Guild makes their university experience better. I was one of those students, and I don't think that's the students' fault. I think we can do better. Lift can do better.
And that's why I'm running with Lift. The Guild doesn't just need experienced leadership - it needs fresh leadership. I've spent my time at university working with students and volunteering in the community, giving me a perspective grounded in everyday student life rather than student politics.
If elected, I'll focus on easing cost-of-living pressures and making sure the Guild delivers practical, visible benefits for every student, not just those already involved in student politics. I want every student to be able to point to something the Guild did and know it made their university experience better.
I’m running with Lift because the students of UWA deserve representatives that are committed to ensuring that the basics of governance are done right, and that necessary services societies, students, and staff rely on are delivered efficiently and effectively.
Being an approachable representative that can focus on student issues, I want to be accountable to the students and ensure every last dollar of spending and every ounce of effort is directed towards issues that directly affect students. I want to ensure supportive training programs for part-time works, accessibility to employment opportunities, and events that improve the student experience of UWA, become the goal of 2027.
I personally believe every student studying at UWA deserves the opportunity to thrive in all aspects of campus life whether that be, academically, socially, or personally and that is why I am running for OGC.
I’m proud to be part of Lift, a new force in student representation focused on delivering real and achievable outcomes to the issues UWA students face every day.
From strengthening academic support and mental health services, to empowering clubs and FacSocs to continue to create a vibrant campus life, I’m committed to building a better UWA experience for all students.
University should be about more than lectures and assignments it should be a place where all students feel heard, supported, and prepared for life beyond graduation.
It’s time for a Guild that works with students and for students. Together, let’s Lift the standard.
I'm standing with Lift because I believe the Guild should put students first by focusing on practical outcomes that improve university life. A university education is a significant investment of time and money, and every student deserves high-quality, well-delivered teaching, accountable leadership, and a learning environment that gives them the best opportunity to succeed.
If elected, I will work to ensure the Guild gets the basics right, cut spending on wasteful and discriminatory departments, and direct more funding towards services and programs that provide clear benefits to students. I will also push back against the far-left agenda that too often dominates student politics and campus discourse, ensuring the Guild represents students better.
Most importantly, I will put students first and stand up for common-sense policies on campus. I will work hard to secure better educational outcomes, defend free debate, and deliver genuine value for UWA students.
I’m running with Lift because I believe in practical solutions to student problems. University is a major investment of time, money, and commitment. Students deserve a high-quality education, an accountable university, and a place where their voices are heard.
If elected to the Guild, I will represent students, support greater funding for student programs, and work to make a positive difference for all UWA students. I will also advocate for reducing the cost of university life, including lobbying UWA to lower the Student Services and Amenities Fee.
Most importantly, I want every student to feel heard. A recent report by the Menzies Research Center found that around one in five students feel they cannot express their opinions freely. I believe that is unacceptable. I will listen to students, represent their concerns, and work to achieve better educational outcomes for all UWA students.
I’m running as a candidate because I’m passionate about student life at UWA, and wish to contribute to every pupil’s enjoyment of the university experience. My involvement in leadership teams in the past, and current adjudicating role in high school debating makes me well suited to representation of students and advocating for the best circumstances. Encouraging fellow students to join the social space and clubs is important, and I hope to meet and guide new people in this important role. My involvement in netball, the choral space and other clubs speaks to this. UWA Students deserve representation who focus on delivering for students and not politics, that’s why I’m running for Lift in 2026.
.As an international student and researcher at The University of Western Australia, I believe every student deserves the opportunity, support, and confidence to reach their full potential. Having experienced the challenges and opportunities of studying in a new country, I understand the importance of strong representation, open dialogue, and a welcoming university community. I am passionate about inspiring others to recognise their strengths, pursue their goals, and become active contributors to campus life. If elected, I will advocate for practical solutions that enhance student wellbeing, strengthen academic and professional opportunities, and ensure every voice is heard and respected.
I am committed to fostering a Guild that values individual initiative, embraces diversity of thought, and empowers students to succeed through collaboration, innovation, and equal opportunity.
My name is Jamie D’Mello and I’ve been a student at UWA for about a year and a half. I’m running with Lift because I believe the guild should focus on delivering practical results for students.

I’m running with Lift because I believe the Student Guild should deliver practical results that genuinely improve the student experience.
