The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) Allocation Report is the form approved by the Minister.

This Report was developed to allow for greater transparency and consistency in reporting on SSAF allocations and expenditure.

The Report must be made publicly available by higher education providers within six months of the end of their financial reporting period (by 30 June or 31 December).
