Every year Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) employs highly motivated students who are passionate about accounting, as CA Student Representatives (CASR) at selected tertiary campuses across Australia and New Zealand.

As the face and voice of CA ANZ, the CASR role is vital in helping us make an epic future for the accounting profession. They inspire young people to discover their passions and purpose within accounting, expand our student network, and champion the path to becoming a Chartered Accountant (CA).

Being a CASR is more than just a paid role; it offers students the opportunity to:

• gain valuable professional development training
• receive mentorship from the Chartered Accountants ANZ Careers Engagement team
• represent Chartered Accountants ANZ at various industry and career events
• have personal introductions to Chartered Accountants ANZ contacts, partner employers, academics and career experts
• enhance soft skills such as leadership, relationship building, confidence and increased communication techniques.

Here's what people are saying about the role of our CA Student Representatives

"CA student reps stand out because they’re confident and comfortable talking to anyone. Even if it doesn’t come naturally to them, they’re always good communicators because they’ve developed this skill in the representative role."

"You can already see that our former CA student reps are going to go a long way at Baker Tilly Staples Rodway."

One Young World - see how some of our CASRs have made a difference internationally

Each year, Chartered Accountants ANZ sends two delegates to the One Young World Summit which is in a different international location each year, in an effort to support the next generation of difference makers.

One Young World Summit convenes the brightest young talent from every country and sector, working to accelerate social impact. The most talented young leaders from 190+ countries are counselled by influential political, business, and humanitarian leaders such as Justin Trudeau, Paul Polman and Meghan Markle, amongst many other global figures.

Check out the highlights from the 2019 One Young World Summit in London, attended by CASRs Lontya Kalililo and Christian Bien.

"There is so much power in coming together. It is important to give young people opportunities to work together for a better future, because we are the next generation. It is the kind of networking experience where simple connections could create so much good in the world."

"Delegates share their passions, stories, and experiences collectively - all of which I can learn from and then take back to my community. It's a fantastic opportunity to drive social impact within [my state], but also within the global community, too."
