The Vice-Chancellor has approved the allocation of Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funds for 2025 as recommended by SSAF Budget Advisory Committee following its consultation process with students.

The SSAF Budget Advisory Committee comprises the following:

  • Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Students) (Chair) or Nominee;
  • President, Flinders University Student Association;
  • General Secretary, Flinders University Student Association;
  • Student member, nominated by the Student Council, Flinders University Student Association;
  • Director, Student Life;
  • Chief Financial Officer (or nominee);
  • A senior academic or professional staff member at the College level, appointed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Students);
  • Manager, Flinders University Student Association (non-voting).

The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funds a wide range of student services and amenities, including advocacy and welfare services, financial counselling and assistance, clubs and societies, sport and recreational activities, student media, student mental health and wellbeing programs and expanded services offered by the Student Learning Centre, Health Counselling and Disability Services, and Careers and Employability.

Student consultation on the 2025 SSAF budget requests

In October 2024, all students were invited to complete the 2024 SSAF Survey (for 2025 funds). The survey was open from 30 September to 11October. A total of 19,610 survey invitations were sent and 949 students participated in the survey (4.8% response rate). The results are summarised in the 2024 Student Services & Amenities Fee Survey.

The SSAF Budget Advisory Committee considered the results from this survey when deliberating on how to allocate funds for 2025. The SSAF Budget Advisory Committee would like to thank all students who participated in the survey and ranked the bids for 2025 SSAF funds, and in addition provided extremely valuable feedback around SSAF service delivery. Careful consideration will be given as to how the feedback will guide services into the future.
