PARSA's primary focus is the welfare of all postgraduate students at the ANU, particularly with respect to their studies.

Unless they opt not to, all postgraduates (i.e. Grad. Cert., Grad. Dip., Masters and Ph.D students) at the ANU automatically become members of PARSA, so please let us know if there is any way we can assist you.

Throughout this site you will find information about PARSA and its services. You can access a range of information on current postgrad issues, notes from committee meetings, postgrad events, etc.
