Student services and Amenities Fee
n 2012 Student Council sought to re-establish a student association, utilising the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) for funding. Eventually the University supported the idea and the new Flinders University Student Association was formed. The first elected Student Council began its term on 1 January 2013. Since then, we have worked hard to revive a campus culture. Our goals are in running events, providing services and opportunities, and supporting clubs and societies – and ultimately everything else we can do to make sure you, as students, have the best University experience possible.
