Student-led organisation
A student-led organisation is an independent body that helps shape the future of Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funded services and initiatives.
What will our student-led organisation do?
Who truly understands uni life – the support services, the extracurricular activities, campus facilities – everything that goes on outside of class? Federation students. That's why we're establishing our very first student-led organisation. The committee will be made up of
six democratically elected student representatives who choose their own chair and deputy chair. Download the notice of student-led organisation nominations and elections (PDF 137 KB).
The group will meet regularly to discuss the services, programs and opportunities that matter most to Federation students. Staff may submit budgets for review, but the committee will have the power to decide how 40% of the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funding should be allocated.
What's the Student Services and Amenities Fee?
All domestic higher education students (except those doing higher degrees by research) are charged an annual Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). This money goes towards non-academic services and amenities – things that don’t relate directly to courses.
