BRAC University Alumni Association Australia (BRACUAAA) is a non-political, not-for-profit, voluntary alumni association dedicated to fostering connections among BRAC University graduates residing in Australia. We promote networking, mentorship, professional collaboration, social engagement, and community initiatives aligned with the values of BRAC University.
Membership is open to all graduates who hold any degree offered by BRAC University and its affiliated schools. Undergraduate students who have completed the Residential Semester are also considered alumni and are eligible for membership. Faculty and staff members of BRAC University may apply to become Associate Members if they wish. Individuals who have completed only short courses or training programs offered by BRAC University, or programs offered by BRAC as an NGO, are not considered alumni under the Constitution.
BRACUAAA has four membership categories: Contributing Member, Life Member, Non-Contributing Member, and Associate Member. Contributing Members and Life Members hold voting rights and may contest executive positions. Non-Contributing Members may participate in activities but do not have voting rights or eligibility to represent the association. Associate Membership is available to spouses, children of alumni, and faculty or staff members, and does not carry voting rights.
The annual Contributing Membership fee is $15 (Australian). Life Membership is available through a one-time contribution of $1,000 (Australian). Life Members are exempt from annual fees but are required to attend Annual General Meetings. If a Life Member fails to attend three consecutive AGMs without approved written justification, their Life Membership may be terminated and they may be reclassified as a non-financial member in accordance with the Constitution. Membership fees are reviewed in line with constitutional provisions.
Non-Contributing Members and Associate Members are welcome to participate in activities organised for alumni. However, only Contributing Members and Life Members are eligible to vote, contest elections, or represent BRACUAAA in an official capacity.
BRACUAAA is governed by a Management Committee elected every two years at the Annual General Meeting. The governance framework includes the General Body, the Management Committee, the National Advisory Body, and where applicable, State Bodies. The National Advisory Body provides strategic advice and may assist in conflict resolution, while operational authority rests with the elected Management Committee. Full governance details are outlined in the Constitution.
BRACUAAA is a national association and the Management Committee attempts to organise events across all Australian states and territories, depending on participation and support from the local General Body. The aim is to ensure inclusive representation and engagement nationwide.
Where there is sufficient interest and volunteer capacity, a state or territory may form its own State Body in accordance with the Constitution. State Bodies operate within the constitutional framework of BRACUAAA and may organise local events and initiatives while remaining aligned with the national governance structure. Representation from each state and territory is reflected within the Management Committee to ensure national balance and coordination.
BRACUAAA promotes all activities through its official website, WhatsApp groups, Facebook Group and Page, and Instagram. All official links are available on the Connect With Us page.
BRACUAAA handles personal information in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws. Information collected through forms and membership processes is used solely for alumni association purposes and is managed responsibly in line with governance standards.
