The SSA is pleased to announce that we are an official sponsor of the Work and Development Permit (WDP) scheme.
The WDP is a State Government run initiative, that enables the SSA to support vulnerable and disadvantaged current, prospective, and alumni Swinburne students by offering a non-financial pathway to resolve fine debt.
If eligible, you will have the opportunity to work off your fines by supporting the SSA Events & Experience team. You will be assigned tasks that help develop your employment skills while making a positive contribution to the Swinburne student community.
Please ensure you meet all conditions & eligibility criteria before contacting us by reading though this Fact Sheet. If you are unsure – we can discuss this with you!
Visit Work and Development Permit to learn more about the scheme, and check if you qualify.
If you are interested in registering for the scheme, or if you have any questions, please email us at WDP@swin.edu.au
Applicants will be required to attend a brief interview as part of the eligibility assessment process. If accepted, you will be provided with a rostered work schedule outlining your required hours.
