Sustain Me

Eating well at university shouldn't cost a fortune. Sustain Me is an initiative created specifically for students, providing affordable, nutritious, and sustainably produced meals.

Created in direct response to student feedback and funded through the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF), the program was designed to tackle rising cost-of-living pressures and make healthy food more accessible on campus.

What's on the menu?

Through partnerships with participating retailers, students can access popular favourites at significantly reduced prices. These offers give students access to affordable, convenient, and nutritious food choices across campus each week.

See below for some of the Semester 2 deals and participating retailers.
