The Students' Representative Council (SRC) is the representative body for undergraduate students at the University of Sydney. In addition to a student-elected council and student advocacy portfolios, the SRC coordinates a free legal service and caseworker service for all undergraduate students at the University of Sydney. These services provide legal, academic appeal, migration, tenancy and study advice to students.

The SRC has a reputation as Australia's most radical student union, and has been instrumental in leading student activism on a range of issues including education,[1] feminist justice, environmentalism,[2] First Nations justice[3] and queer rights.[4] The longest-running weekly student newspaper in Australia, Honi Soit, is funded by the SRC.
