Staff at Flinders University make a difference each day through their unwavering commitment to students and research at the University. Many staff also make donations to our student and research programs and see first-hand the positive impact and remarkable benefits of their support.
Our Workplace Giving program offers staff the opportunity to make a regular donation to further support students and advance research at the University. Set up via the payroll system, the pre-tax salary sacrifice deduction also has the effect of reducing your taxable income.

Supporting students in financial distress
To meet the sudden impact of COVID-19 on students, Flinders University has developed a range of financial and non-financial support, including the Matthew Flinders Scholarship.
It has been inspiring to see the way our students and staff have shown resilience, commitment, and compassion to one another throughout a challenging first semester. In Semester 2 we have welcomed students back to campus as more face-to-face teaching recommences in COVID-Safe environments. Lectures which would require much larger groups of students to gather together will be delivered online to keep our students safe from COVID-19. There has been a critical need for all students to have access to technology, though many simply do not have the funds to buy the resources, to succeed with these shifts. And this is on top of the struggle to meet basic living costs in a difficult employment market.
Many of our students support themselves during their studies with part-time and casual work—some doing as many as two or three different jobs to get by. However, these positions have greatly diminished as a result of the pandemic. As a result, thousands of our students are now facing financial hardship and struggling to meet their basic living costs.
Matthew Flinders Scholarship recipient, Sophary Hang is studying a Master of Social Work. Meet our inspiring students and send them a message of support.
