The Queensland University of Technology Student Guild (QUT Guild) is a student organisation established to represent and provide services and support to the students at QUT. The QUT Guild operates out of offices located on level 2 of C Block at the Kelvin Grove campus, however has many other spaces across the two QUT campuses.[1][2]
The QUT Guild currently operates the Grove Bar and Botanic Bar, at the Kelvin Grove and Gardens Point campuses, respectively, as well as a shop on each campus, a social sport program, graduation gown hire and has a large presence and participation in the university's orientation and O-Week activities.
The Guild supports students at QUT with an academic advocacy service, funding to over 140 clubs and societies, and broader advocacy on student welfare through activism and campaigning for policy change.[3][4]
History[edit]
1900s[edit]
A student union was formed at the turn of the century while the Garden's Point QUT campus was known as the Brisbane Technical College.[5][6] It is unclear what happened to this student union, however there appears to be no link to the union formed at QIT.
Under QIT (1966–1988)[edit]
In 1966, students at the Queensland Institute of Technology formed the QIT Union.[7] Union Council comprised of the Union Executive and 20 executives, 18 of which were elected annually by students at Council elections.[8] At this time, the Union oversaw student associations specific to Departments of the Institute, such as "The Engineering Students' Association or The Architectural Students' Association, to provide specific support to students in those areas of study.
In 1972, the student union voted to join the then Australian Union of Students.[6]
By 1979, Union Council comprised of the President, five Executive Directors and up to 35 student representatives, elected at annual elections. At this time, the QIT Union offered services such as, but not limited to, graduation gown hire, various shops on campus, a childcare centre, a free newspaper and funding to clubs and societies.
Under QUT (1989–present)[edit]
After the passing of the Queensland University of Technology Act in 1988, and with the re-naming of the University, the student union became known as the QUT Student Guild in 1989.[9][10]
By the 1990s, Guild Council was made up of the student Executive (President, General Secretary, Education Director, International Student Services Director, Women's Services Director, Welfare Services Director, Recreation Director and five Campus Directors), campus representatives and specialist representatives for students who study part-time, study externally, studying a postgraduate course and those who are Indigenous.

Voluntary Student Unionism (2005)[edit]
Before the passing of the Voluntary Student Unionism Bill in December, 2005, students at QIT/QUT were automatically members of their student union, and were required to pay union fees.[11][12]
In June, 2005, the QUT Guild's Education Director Deanna Borand-Sentinella and Education Officer Shane Snow submitted a document to the Australian Senate Employment, Workplace Relations and Education Committee, warning of the impacts that Voluntary Student Unionism would have on the QUT Guild through the reduction of funding.[13] The submission detailed the areas of advocacy the Guild operates in, such as support for international, queer and women-identifying students, and how important it was for the Guild to continue this work to support students in these communities. The document also laid out the financial contribution that the QUT Guild made to the Queensland economy through employment, purchasing of goods and services, and the capital contribution to QUT campus facilities, as well as the reduction of influence at QUT the Guild would have with less funding.
2012[edit]
In 2012, the QUT Guild ended its accreditation with the National Union of Students, an election promise by the EPIC electoral ticket in 2011.
