WIL Internships
The WIL team sources opportunities specific to students' degrees as outlined in their Expression of Interest form. Placements can either be paid or unpaid. Students can either self-source an internship or via the Placement Board (competitive process).
McCusker Internships
McCusker links students to community & non-for-profit organisation placements. Opportunities are unpaid, to benefit the community. Sourced opportunities: Community, local government, public sector, regional, youth sector & Telethon Kids Institute.
Both are units undertaken for credit that include an internship opportunity. Opportunities to do an internship are available during both Semester 1 and 2 and during Winter and Summer break periods. Support is available for applying, during and after your placement from the WIL Team and McCusker Centre Team.
