The Vice-Chancellor has approved the allocation of Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funds in 2021 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);
  • President, Flinders University Student Association;
  • General Secretary, Flinders University Student Association;
  • Student member, nominated by the Student Council, Flinders University Student Association;
  • Director, Student Services;
  • Chief Financial Officer (or nominee);
  • A senior academic or professional staff member at the College level, appointed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Students);
  • Manager, Student Engagement (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 the Careers and Employer Liaison Centre.

Further information on SSAF, including the services and amenities that are permitted to be funded under Commonwealth legislation can be found at student services and amenities fee.

A large amount of work has been done in 2020 to ensure the majority of SSAF funded support programs and services are available online.

 

Student consultation on the 2021 SSAF budget requests

In September 2020, all students were invited to complete the 2020 SSAF Survey. The survey was open from 14.09.20 to 23.09.20. A total of 21994 survey invitations were sent and 1,403 students participated in the survey (6.4% response rate). The results are summarised in the 2020 Student Services & Amenities Fee Survey.

The SSAF Budget Advisory Committee considered the results from this survey when deliberating on how to allocate funds for 2021.  The SSAF Budget Advisory Committee would like to thank all students who participated in the survey and provided extremely valuable feedback, in addition to ranking the bids for 2021 SSAF funds.  Careful consideration will be given as to how the feedback will guide services into the future.
