ABOUT UOW PULSE

From enrolment to graduation, UOW Pulse is here to make the student experience at UOW a fun and memorable one.  UOW Pulse offers a range of entertainment and unique experiences for students to engage within their community and gain valuable skills and outcomes through volunteering programs, wellness workshops and events as well as student-led sports activities and more.

UOW Pulse is a not for profit organisation, with proceeds from everything purchased on campus going straight back into enriching student life on campus. Whether that’s through events and activities, sport and wellness initiatives, or through our peer-to-peer programs such as clubs and societies and volunteering.

The organisation’s membership model gives our 4200+ members direct access to additional benefits both on and off campus, and with 85% of members being current students, the membership acts as a source of student feedback and influence for UOW Pulse operations at on-shore campuses.

UOW Pulse was established in 2016. It came to be with the merging of the  institution’s Students Union and the Sports Association. UOW Pulse is an independent, not-for-profit organisation which is governed by a professional Board including an elected Student-Director, with committees including the Pulse Advisory Committee comprising of current UOW students.

CHILD SAFE ORGANISATION

Pulse is proudly a Child Safe Organisation. We have adopted the National Child Safe Standards and we have extensive policies and practices in place to protect children and keep them safe. A child safe organisation puts the best interests of children and young people first.

“A child safe organisation means that the place where our children spend time is safe from physical, sexual, psychological, ill-treatment and neglect. A child safe place will have established rules to make sure children and young people are kept safe” (Office of the Children’s Guardian). You can learn more about the National Child Safe Standards here: https://ocg.nsw.gov.au/resources
