Consultation sessions and focus groups
Tell UOW how you want your SSAF money spend
All eligible students are invited to complete the 2026 SSAF survey.
You pay UOW your SSAF fee. This is your chance to tell us what's important to you with where your money gets spent.
Search your inbox for your unique personal link that was emailed out on 6 May.
It's a quick and simple way to share your student voice. This is your chance to act on the thoughts and ideas you've had.
You also go in the running to win some great prizes like Woolies vouchers, UniActive and UniBar passes.
The survey closes 20 May but do it now, while you have 5 minutes. You could fill it in while you're in the coffee queue or waiting for the bus.
Student Voice Australasia Student Partner – casual paid on-going role
Thanks to SSAF-funding, UOW is an institutional member of Student Voice Australasia (SVA).
SVA are currently advertising a casual paid role for an enrolled student at an Australian university to work on-going in their team as their student partner.
Not only would this be a great casual employment position, but a fantastic chance to impact how student partnership is delivered across our regional network.

Library, Student Academic Success and Careers Student Services
These consultation sessions have now concluded.
UOW plans to bring together a range of student services on the Ground Floor of the Library to create a more connected and accessible experience for all students.
Key feedback from students
The following feedback was received from students in a consultation session on 14 October, 2025.
- The ground floor of the library is a valuable space for group and individual study. It has a good balance of quiet for study but enough noise that you can have a conversation. Any changes to this space shouldn't take away the focus on study.
- Students worry that introducing AskUOW services might change the current vibe and disrupt the calm environment.
- Careers and academic support are valued but need to be easier to find and access. Having the Student Success Hub in building 19 makes it hard to find. Students agreed that locating this service to the Library would make it more accessible and visible.
- The idea of installing computers where students can book appointments and find information was welcomed.
- Improvements could be made to make the space more welcoming to Indigenous Students.
- Students value the services provided by the Academic Skills Centre within the library and discussed that it was easy to find, locate and loved that they could book appointments and use drop in assistance as needed
