Frequently Asked Questions

It can be a bit easier than elsewhere to find paid internships in Australia, as Australia has somewhat strict laws surrounding 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.

Great experience interning abroad that I extend my stay 3 extra months!

May 06, 2025by: Raegan Jabor - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad Internships in Sydney, Australia
9

I originally had a 3-month internship from February to April, but I enjoyed it so much that I decided to extend it for another 3 months! Sydney is an incredible location—there’s so much to do here, and honestly, 3 months just isn’t enough time to take it all in. My internship has been amazing. I love the work environment I’m in, and living at Scape has made the experience even better. The housing is centrally located with easy access to everything I need. Scape also hosts fun activities for residents, which made it easy to meet other exchange students. I had so much fun attending these events—and they’re either free or super affordable! The people in Australia are incredibly kind and welcoming. I highly recommend studying or interning abroad here—it’s been one of the best experiences of my life!
