Consultation and reporting

How to have your say on SSAF

La Trobe wants students to help shape how the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) are spent. Your ideas and feedback directly guide what programs, services and initiatives are funded each year. You can provide feedback in the following ways:

• Student Feedback Form – let us know what you would like to see your SSAF spent on.
• SSAF Annual Survey – complete the SSAF survey that's sent to all students to have their say on where SSAF is needed most to support students.
• Student Council – speak with your La Trobe Student Council representatives.

Reporting

La Trobe has robust systems to track SSAF expenditure and monitor service delivery to ensure student funds are used equitably, responsibly, safely and transparently, and in compliance with legislation and any contract arrangements with student-led organisations.

Our student-led organisations are required to adhere to the compliance and legislative requirements of the Government’s legislation for Higher Education Providers and SSAF.

They are required to have strong financial oversight and transparent reporting, so students and La Trobe can see how your SSAF funds are used and what the benefits are for students. In 2026, student-led organisation reports and student benefit insights will be published quarterly to La Trobe’s SSAF webpage for greater transparency on where SSAF goes.
