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.
