- the annual SSAF survey conducted in July
- an advisory group of elected student representatives
Find the 2023 SSAF allocation report here.
For 2024 the students have elected to spend the SSAF on the same priorities.
Tuition Assurance
GTB provides tuition assurance to enrolled students through the Tuition Protection Service (TPS). The Tuition Protection Service (TPS) delivered by the Federal Government covers GTB`s FEE-HELP and upfront, or direct fee-paying students.
The TPS is an initiative of the Australian Government to assist domestic higher education students if their education provider is unable to fully deliver a unit of study and/or their course of study to their students.
The TPS is a placement, refund and loan re-credit service for students who are affected by a provider closing or ceasing to deliver a course.
For domestic students the TPS will provide students with the option to either:
- receive help to find a suitable replacement course, or
- receive a loan re-credit for incomplete units.
