STUDENT SERVICES
ANDAMENITIES FEE
(SSAF)
In 2011 the Australian Parliament passed
legislation allowing universities and other
higher education providers to charge
a fee for non-academic services such
as sporting and recreation activities,
employment and career advice, child
care, financial advice, and food services.
UQ levies the SSAF – which is capped at
a maximum of $280 for 2014 – according
to whether you are an internal or external
student, or enrolled full-time or part-time.
The fee is indexed annually, and at the time
of publication the 2015 fee is not available.
Charges for 2015 and a full list of students
exempt from paying the SSAF in 2015
are expected to be available online from 1
October 2014.
