Where can I find out about available Internships / Work Experience Placement opportunities?

You can search for Internship and Work Experience opportunities on the CareerHub jobs board, and we recommend checking out other job boards like SEEK Grad and Prosple as well.

You can find resources on finding and applying for internships and other forms of work experience, here. You may also find our "Finding Work While You Study" workshop helpful.

I'm not yet enrolled as a student at the university, can I make an appointment with a Careers Education Consultant or access Employability resources?

Appointments with a Careers Education Consultant and access to Employability resources are available only to current students, so you will need to enrol before you can access these services and content.
