Support SUPRA                                                   

Thank you for your interest in becoming a SUPRA Supporter.

Do you want to ensure ongoing independent voice for postgraduate students at the University of Sydney? Do you want to show the Rudd Government that you are against VSU? Have you utilised the services SUPRA offers and appreciate the value of such student run organisations? Then why not make a financial contribution to your association of between $20 and $80 and become a SUPRA Supporter!

SUPRA Supporters are Subscribers who choose to contribute financially to the Association in a given calendar year to help ensure the financial security of the Association and an ongoing independent voice for postgraduate students at the University of Sydney.

Why should I pay?
Before the introduction of voluntary student unionism every postgraduate student at the University of Sydney contributed $80 to SUPRA each year. This ensured that the representation, advice and advocacy services offered by SUPRA were available for the benefit of all students.

Now that VSU has been introduced our future is uncertain. We have managed to secure assistance from the University for 2007 but no commitment has been made beyond this.

By becoming a SUPRA Supporter and making a financial contribution to the Association, as all students did in the years before, you will help to ensure SUPRA’s long-term survival.

SUPRA Supporters will also receive a SUPRA Supporter Welcome Pack which includes merchandise and lots of information about how to get involved with SUPRA and your postgraduate community.

How much should I pay?

Any amount between $20 and $80 will make a difference to the financial security of the Association. Given the voluntary nature of the payment and the fact that postgraduate student incomes vary so greatly we have decided to allow students to choose the amount they wish to contribute within this range. Therefore we encourage you to pay as much as you can afford.

If you oppose the introduction of VSU we recommend you pay $80, as this was the amount of money all postgrad students paid pre-VSU. If you object to VSU and don’t support the Howard Government’s agenda then $80 is the amount for you.

Please ensure you have completed the SUPRA Subscriber form, if you have not already done so before proceeding. Due to the changes in 2007 you will need to complete this first, even if you have received eGrad or SUPRA services in the past. You will be directed to this page once you have completed the form.
