In 1999-2001 Geoff  worked for the Deakin University Student Association and its predecessors. These are two submissions Geoff was mostly responsible for, and which anticipate some of the current trends in Australian higher education:

Submission to the Commonwealth Government Higher Education Review on behalf of the Deakin University Student Association (2002).

Submission to the Commonwealth Senate Employment, Workplace Relations, Small Business & Education Committee Inquiry into the Capacity of Public Universities to Meet Australia's Higher Education Needs on behalf of the Deakin University Student Association (2001) (submission 238 in name of Ms Sally Cray).
