SFUN 2026 Report

Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)

The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) is a compulsory fee that contributes to the non-academic services at the University, such as health and wellbeing support services, employment and career advice, sporting and recreational activities and campus life activities. 

Each year, the University consults with students and student representatives to inform decision making on spending SSAF funds for the following year and beyond. In doing so, we ensure that we receive direct feedback from all student cohorts, across all campuses and study modes to get insight into student preferences for services.  
 



Top Priorities have remained consistent over the last three years:

1st: Providing food and drink (1897 votes)
2nd: Help obtaining employment or career advice (1460 votes)
3rd: Promoting health and welfare (1390 votes)
