It also pays for multiple minor works throughout the campus. The majority of the cost goes into student services like providing food and drink. There are a few payment options for the SSAF fees such as paying the entire thing upfront, paying small amounts at regular intervals (similar to afterpay) or applying for a SA-HELP loan.

The average 15 year old earns $14 an hour.
This means if you were to work 3 hours 3 times a week you would earn $126.
If you were to save ALL of this money (which is very unrealistic) you would have saved about $19 656 in the 3 years before uni.
Saving $90 out of the weekly $126 is much more realistic and means you would save $14 040 in the 3 years before uni, which is just enough to pay for the costs of uni.
