Student Services and Amenities Fee

The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funds non-academic services and amenities that improve the student experience.

Your Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) goes towards non-academic services and amenities – things that don’t relate directly to your course. These must fit the list of allowable items, and we can either deliver the services ourselves or contract a third party to do it on our behalf.

How much will I be charged?

The SSAF amount is set by the Australian Government. Your fee will depend on your study load, mode of study and your fee type. If you’re eligible for an SA-HELP loan, you can defer this payment.
