The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) was introduced for all Australian universities in January 2021 after the Federal Government passed the Student Services and Amenities Fee Legislation in October 2011.
Under this legislation, Australian universities are able to charge students for the delivery of non-academic student services and amenities, such as sporting and recreational activities, help to obtain employment and advice on careers, and services to develop skills for study.
The SSAF supports activities and initiatives that empower all students to engage and optimise their individual educational, social and cultural student experience and enrichment both online and on-campus.
