The Students' Association of the University of Adelaide (SAUA) was a student representative body that existed at the University of Adelaide from 1973 until 2007. It was one of a number of student organisations that was affiliated to and funded by the Adelaide University Union through the government sanctioned 'Union Fee'. Prior to 1973, an SRC had represented student interests at the University. Former presidents of the SRC include John Bannon and Julia Gillard.
The SAUA had representative members on many of the University's committees, gave comment in the media and made submissions to government inquiries about issues that affected students and young people in general. It also regularly ran events and awareness campaigns.
The SAUA held annual elections to elect students to its various office-bearer positions as well as positions on the governing council. Notable past presidents include Natasha Stott Despoja and Sarah Hanson-Young. Other notable past members include David Penberthy, Anne McEwen and Annabel Crabb.
Due to the introduction of voluntary student unionism by the Howard governemnt, the Adelaide University Union underwent a significant restructure and the SAUA was replaced by an SRC in 2007.

“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
