Also who decides how much of a contribution you'd get from SEAS?

SEAS does not do anything to your ATAR
its just for universities to factor into their decision of giving you an offer or not (if your below the clearly in)
so basically its all up to the uni

Yep, the ATAR itself shouldn't be affected by SEAS.

I know it doesnt technically boost your enter score but it gets you into courses where people who have the same score but without SEAS dont get in. So it sort of does...

if your worried about getting into a course, just try to do really well on relevant/prerequisite subjects and also the GAT, as unis will look at these too

With some SEAS as Unimelb stated it boosted your ENTER by 7 points for a course.

And with medicine at Monash for the majority of SEAS; it just increases your aggregate by a few points
(So instead of 98.00 getting 98.50'ish probably lower)
2010 VCE: psychology | english language | methods cas | further | chemistry | physical ed | uni chemistry || ATAR: 97.40 ||

2011: BSc @ UoM

Y1: biology of cells&organisms | music psychology | biological psychology | secret life of language | creative writing
    || genetics&the evolution of life | biochemistry&molecular biology | techniques of molecular science -.- | mind,brain&behaviour 2

20XX: MEDICINE

True to some aspects, but for 2009 VTAC applicants, I reckon it could have been used as a marketing technique.
