Why do I have a sanction on my account for the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)?

Follow the instructions below to clear your sanction:
  1.  to see the amount you currently owe for the SSAF
  2. You can then either:
    • Pay for the outstanding amount through Curtin ePay OR
    • If it is before the census date of the study period for which the amount is due and you are eligible, you can to have the fee deferred to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Please be aware that the SSAF cannot be deferred through a HECS-HELP form. You must complete the SA-HELP form to defer the SSAF.
