What is the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)?

In 2012, The University of Melbourne introduced the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF), in compliance with the Australian Government's Higher Education Legislation, to support and provide a wide range of services and amenities for students, and to support student-focused initiatives. 

All students pay this compulsory fee annually. The amount you pay depends on your study load (full time or part-time). 

The University is committed to understanding and meeting the needs of a diverse student population, and ensuring that all have an experience of lasting quality and enrichment. SSAF funds enable a wide range of initiatives, determined in collaboration with students, in support of this commitment.

It is a requirement that you read the 2026 SSAF Grant Guidelines before applying for this grant.
