Support for your non-academic needs
The Bond University Student Services and Amenities Fee aims to provide a balanced, practical approach to funding campus services and amenities of a non-academic nature, such as sporting and recreational activities, student advocacy, employment and career advice, student support services, orientation activities and food services.
What is a Student Services and Amenities Fee?
A Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) is a fee that higher education providers can charge their students for student services and amenities of a non-academic nature to ensure that “students have access to support services (such as health, welfare, advocacy and career services) that assist students in undertaking higher education studies” (Explanatory Statement Higher Education Support (Student Services, Amenities, Representation and Advocacy) Guidelines 2000) accessed 13 September 2022
Each semester the amount of incoming SSAF attributable is calculated and presented to a specially formed committee made up of representatives from the University and the overarching Student Association. Funding requests are received by the committee at this time and considered for approval in line with legislative guidelines.
The Student Association calls for funding requests from the various student clubs in the closing weeks of the prior semester and undergoes an in-depth consultative process with students and student bodies to determine its proposal for the upcoming semester's funding.
Approved distributions by BUSA to its' student clubs and other governable areas are published annually on the BUSA Website. To view the latest version click here
