The Curtin Student Guild is the student representative association at Curtin University. The Guild began life as the WAIT Student Guild in November 1968. Since the introduction of volountary student unionism in 2006, the Guild has operated on the membership fees of students who have chosen to join. The money collected is used to provide a number of services. In addition to providing member representation the Guild manages most of the food outlets on campus, and also runs services which include a tavern, second-hand book-shop and childcare facilities. Many of the student and social clubs at Curtin are run by the Guild and events such as a "Beach Bash" held in semester one and "Oktoberfest" held in semester two are regular Guild-provided fixtures. The Guild publishes the campus magazine known as Grok. Student representatives are elected to their positions by students in annual elections held in September and run by the Western Australian Electoral Commission.

Postgraduate students are represented by a Guild department called the Curtin Student Guild Postgraduate Student Association. Other departments include ISC (International Students Committee), Women’s, Homosexual, Indigenous, and Part Time and Mature Age.
