Health Sciences & Medicine Student Association (HMSA)
The Health Science and Medicine Students’ Association (HMSA) is a committee comprised of elected health science and medicine (HSM) students. The HMSA is responsible for ensuring its representation of HSM students reflect that which most benefit the student body, particularly in both academic and social areas. The focus of the HMSA has been to increase awareness of the support it offers to HMSA students.
It has achieved this through holding numerous welcome events for new students, as well as, encouraging collaboration between students and staff across the whole faculty through staff versus student sport matches, charity fundraising evenings, social events and additional sessions tutored by staff and students.

The Medical Students Society of Bond University (MSSBU), also known as MedSoc is a student body elected by medical students to support and advocate the interests of Bond’s medical students. MSSBU is essential in the orientation and initiation of new students at the start of each May intake, as well as supporting continuing students in their pre-clinical and clinical phases. MSSBU’s goal is to ensure that all students have a platform to share knowledge and ideas, as well as raise concerns regarding academic and social aspects of the Bond Medical Program. The society is involved in liaising between the students and the faculty, curriculum development and management, educational seminars, information evenings and academic events.
MSSBU understands the challenges that students face and therefore aims to encourage a holistic approach to medicine via programs that address academic, financial, social and physical and mental health matters. It also aims to enhance inter-university relations.
The MSSBU is part of the Australian Medical Students Association (AMSA), an organization that represents all medical students at a national level. The MSSBU AMSA representative provides opportunities for Bond medical students to engage in conferences, workshops, educational and leadership projects run by AMSA both nationally and internationally.
