GSA provides funding for graduate student groups to hold a range of activities and events, from work in progress seminars to soccer matches! Annual funding allocations are determined by the number of University of Melbourne graduate students who are members of the Group, the number of GSA subscribers who are members of the Group and the number of postgraduates who may attend the events being held by the Group/s.
The following scale applies to Groups where 30% of their memberships are GSA subscribers:
| No. of University of Melbourne Postgrads | Maximum Annual Allocation |
| 7-29 | $750 |
| 30 – 99 | $900 |
| 100-199 | $1050 |
| 200-499 | $1200 |
| 500 or more | $1500 |
(Claims by Group/s for additional funding support for events where more than 200 postgraduates will attend (advanced ticket allocations) or did attend will be considered by the GSA Executive.)
Unless there are special circumstances, no more than one-third of the annual allocation will be provided in one round.
There are three funding rounds per year for Postgraduate Groups. You can download a funding form here.(pdf format )
