We get it: the cost of living crisis is greatly affecting students’ wellbeing, not just financially but also mentally and emotionally. That’s why Student Advocacy & Support are giving you a helping hand and peace of mind to help pay one of your biggest expenses, your rent!
Make sure to attend the giveaway stalls listed above at St Lucia & Gatton to get as many entries into the draw as possible – that’s right, you can enter more than once. One student will be drawn at the end of the week and win their rent paid for one whole month, up to the value of $2000.
That’s not all. We’ll be giving out awesome prizes all week long at the stalls, including Coles vouchers, fuel vouchers, and groceries, so don’t miss out.
The Pay Your Rent for a Month competition will be run across Cost of Living Week (Monday March 18 – Friday 22, 2024).

Students will be given multiple opportunities across the week to enter the competition and the grand prize will be drawn on Friday 22 March, 2024.
