About the Student Services and Amenities Fee:

The Student Services and Amenities Bill 2011 was passed by the Federal Government in October 2011 to allow higher education providers to charge an annual compulsory student services and amenities fee (SAF) (capped at $263 per student in 2012 but indexed on an annual basis) from 1 January 2012.

The legislation determines what areas the fee can be spent on. The Student Services and Amenities Fee is charged biannually to students to fund services and facilities which benefit students. The student consultation process facilitated the prioritisation of funds to projects considered important to improving the UOW Student Experience. On Friday 13 April, based on the recommendations of the Student Representative Forum, the University Council decided how UOW would allocate the revenue collected from your SAF.
