Student Services and Amenities Fee

The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) is a charge for student services that are of a non-academic nature. SSAF supports a wide range of activities and initiatives, such as orientation, wellbeing, counselling, careers advice, advocacy and recreational activities. The services provided are designed to empower students to engage and optimise their individual education, social and cultural experience, whether on-campus or online.

To ensure the services and activities provided are relevant for our students, UniSQ conducts an annual SSAF survey of all students to identify priorities and partners with the Student Senate regarding the expenditure of future SSAF funds. 

The SSAF was introduced to all Australian universities in January 2021, after the Federal Government passed the Student Services Amenities Fee Legislation in 2011. Further information on SSAF, including the services and amenities that are permitted to be funded under Commonwealth legislation can be found .

Who pays the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)?

All students who are required to pay a student contribution or tuition fee will be charged the Student Amenities fee.

The following students are exempt from paying SSAF:

  • Research students on an RTP scholarship
  • International Partner students
  • Exchange students
  • Pathway students (UniSQ Ready and English language)
  • Students enrolled in microcredential courses.

The SA fee is charged each Teaching Period based on your enrolment load and is due by the fee due date. Eligible students can defer payment of their SA fee by completing a Request for prior to the census date.

In 2024, the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) will be charged at $43.85 per unit of enrolment up to a maximum annual amount of $351.

The 2025 Student Amenities Fee will be charged at $45.60 per unit of enrolment up to a maximum of eight units.

The fee is the same for on-campus or online students. Services funded via the SSAF fee are generally accessible to all students regardless of study mode.
