✅ The Adelaide University Union Budget Support service is one of our proudest achievements in our short time as your student representatives.

✅ COVID-19 has created significant financial hardship for many students, and free professional financial counselling will make a real difference to students' lives.

✅ Connect Board Directors championed this initiative from the get go, and redirected $18,000 that was previously used to send political hacks to the National Union of Students National Conference (read: junket).

✅ While Unite Adelaide Uni (Labor Right) would rather use your hard earned SSAF money to network with their mates interstate at a week-long pissup, Connect would prefer to continue to advocate for practical policies that will deliver real outcomes for students at Adelaide University.

Student Care is partnering with Uniting Communities to provide a new and free Budget Support service for students wanting assistance to:
👉🏻 create a budget that works
👉🏻 understand bills
👉🏻 learn tips and strategies to help save money
👉🏻 support and advocate for those in hardship
👉🏻 apply for grants and concessions.
👉🏻 seek practical information and support
If you have had a change to your income, experiencing hardship or just want to manage you income and expenses better we’re here to help.
Free and confidential appointments are available now on campus.

A huge congratulations to Connect candidates Hamish Probert and Evi Cacas who filled the casual vacancies for SRC Q***r Officer and SRC Social Justice Officer last night!

Both Hamish and Evi proved they were the best candidates for their roles through the interview process, and we look forward to seeing the great things they will achieve in the remainder of their terms.

Hamish and Evi join General Secretary Isaac Trumble, Rural Officer Andrew Vogelsang, and General Councillor Peter Tantalos as members of the Connect team on the SRC.

Connect is proud to represent LGBT+ students at The University of Adelaide, and proud to fight for social justice for all students in these challenging times.
