The Committee forms the most important body within the James Cook University Medical Students’ Association. It is a diverse group of approximately 50 Officers from all six year levels of the undergraduate Medical Program at James Cook University. The general role of the Committee is to represent the voice of the wider membership of the Society.

The Committee meets regularly during the Academic Year to decide upon important directives regarding all aspects of the JCUMSA, from the location of MedBall to our official standpoint on a specific educational matter and everything in between. Decisions made at Committee meetings are then acted upon by the Executive and other Committee members in the time between meetings.

Non-Executive Committee Members 2023

The Non-Executive Committee have a range of responsibilities that extend beyond the reach of the core Executive and exercise independent roles stretching from website maintenance to sport events coordination that require additional support outside the JCUMSA executive. Most core Executive members have spent some time on the Non-Exec team, as a vital part of the JCUMSA.
