Cost
From the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funding allocation to the JCU Student Association, it was decided that Gunyarra Cup would be fully subsidised by SSAF funding. Therefore, it is free to participate in however you must be a student currently living on campus at one of the colleges. This is to encourage more students to participate in this sporting competition and to make sports more accessible to all students.
