Prepare for an Internship
Set goals
Make the most of your internship in Australia by creating some goals! Depending on your field, they could look different than peers, but some great starting ones are:
- Consider your academic strengths to help narrow your decision. Recognizing these strengths can guide you toward a career that aligns with your natural abilities and interests.
- Identify qualities you seek in peers and mentors, then develop those traits in yourself. Building relationships with supportive individuals can foster your growth and open doors to new opportunities.
- Focus on a specific professional skill, such as networking or a hard or soft skill. Concentrating on targeted skills leads to measurable progress, boosts confidence, and increases competitiveness.
Understand the benefits
Interning in Australia has plenty of perks! For anyone heading down under, you can expect the following:
- International diversity is present. Since Sydney is such a popular tourist and study-abroad destination, you will be exposed to international diversity, which will greatly enhance your chances of employment abroad.
- Fun attractions. There is no shortage of natural attractions to enjoy for free. Whether you’re cliff diving, relaxing on the beach, or team building, there’s fun to be had.
- Language variation. With English as the main language of Australia, it’s generally easy to get around. Be prepared for some colloquial and regional accents and vocabulary; you’ll pick it up in no time.
Things to know
Wherever you intern in Australia, there are a few basics everyone should know about before their trip.
- Cost of living. Australia is a relatively expensive destination due to its robust economy, so it's wise to create a budget and review what your program may cover.
- Cultural etiquette. Australians value personal space; when standing in lines or queues, keep some distance to ensure no one feels uncomfortable.
- Legal requirements. Many internships help with obtaining a visa. Be sure to obtain the required vaccinations and health insurance, as recommended by your internship provider.
Frequently Asked Questions
It can be a bit easier than elsewhere to find paid internships in Australia, as the country has somewhat strict laws regarding unpaid work. However, unpaid internships are legal in Australia, as long as they fall under work experience arrangements (where the main focus of the placement is to learn new skills).
There are many internship providers in Australia, so once you know what type of internship you want to do and how long you want to intern for, it should be fairly easy to find viable options by searching online. You can also apply directly to companies that are based in Australia.
Once you apply to an internship program and get accepted, you’ll receive your internship placement in Australia based on your stated preferences. After that, your internship works pretty much like a normal job! Some internships also involve taking classes or participating in field work.
