We've incorporated!
From 1 April 2026, USU has officially transitioned to a new incorporated entity, USU Ltd.
What does this mean for you?
You’re currently a member of the existing (unincorporated) USU. To keep enjoying your membership and all its benefits, you’ll need to transition your membership to USU Ltd as part of this change.
The good news: there’s nothing urgent to do right now.
A transition period runs from 1 April to 30 June 2026, during which you can continue using your membership as normal.
What happens next?
Shortly, we’ll send you an invitation to join USU Ltd.
What stays the same?
There are no changes to your current experience. You’ll continue to have access to:
💛 All your current benefits
💛 Events and services
💛 Voting rights for eligible members
Can I still vote in the USU Board Election?
Yes. For the upcoming 2026 USU Board Election, all current eligible members and eligible members who join from 1 April 2026, will be recognised in both entities for voting purposes. This means those who are eligible to vote, may vote in the election.
