Professional internship placements in Australian businesses. We support you from your first application through to placement and completion, so the experience you gain connects directly to your studies and your career goals.

Options and fees
Both options follow the same process and carry the same level of support. The difference is time in the workplace, which matters if your course sets a minimum placement duration.

Total program fee
An AUD $400 deposit commences your application and placement process, and is deducted from your total program fee. The remaining balance is payable after you have successfully secured a placement and before your internship start date.
Focus areas
Placements are matched to your field of study and your professional interests. These are the areas we most commonly place students into.
Focus areas are indicative. Tell us your specialisation and preferred internship area in your application and we will assess what is available.
The process
Six stages, from the moment you apply to the day you finish. You are not left to find a host company on your own at any point.
We collect what we need to understand your internship requirements:
Our internship team reviews your profile and requirements to determine the type of placement most suitable for you. Where the internship forms part of your studies, we also consider the relevant course or unit requirements so the proposed placement is properly aligned.
We identify potential host companies and present your profile to organisations that align with your skills, studies, interests and internship requirements. Our team manages the host company engagement on your behalf.
Skills + Studies + Interests + RequirementsWhen a host company is interested in your profile, we coordinate an interview. This gives both sides an opportunity to discuss the role, responsibilities, expectations and suitability of the placement.
Once you are selected, we coordinate the arrangements with you and the host company:
Support does not stop once you start. Our team stays in contact with both you and your host company throughout the placement to monitor progress and assist with internship related matters.

Timing
Every placement journey is different. The time required to secure an internship depends on:
Starting the process early gives our team more time to identify an appropriate host company. It also reduces the risk of delays if you have a required internship commencement or completion date.
If your placement is tied to a unit deadline, tell us the date in your application so we can work backwards from it.

Questions
