How to Intern Abroad in Australia
Overview
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.
Location
Choose a Location
Wherever you head, know that Australian internships are great opportunities and reflect well on your resume! Here are a few popular cities.
Sydney
Ranked among the top 15 cities for tourism over the past 14 years, Sydney is home to some of the top internship industries in tourism and hospitality. The Sydney Opera House is a major component of the country’s international tourism and also reflects and contributes to the national theatre, art, and music culture.
Brisbane
The city’s economy is growing faster than any other Australian city, making economics an excellent field for internships in Brisbane. Brisbane is home to several top universities, including the University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology. Both schools specialize in research and technology, offering opportunities for lab and research internships.
Melbourne
Interning in Melbourne with a professor in any field at the University of Melbourne would certainly stand out on your resume to any future employer. Melbourne is the birthplace of the Australian film and television industry and continues to host international film festivals, making it an ideal location for an Australian film and media industry internship.
Fields
Choose a Field
The available fields vary widely in subject and type of work. There’s an option for everyone. A few great choices are:
Film and Media
Australia has a rich art and culture that attracts people from around the world. Film is by far the most popular area of interest, therefore creating a high demand for film production. Interning in Australia in these fields will expose you to a thriving art scene that will open up countless networking opportunities.
Graphic Design
There’s a huge area within Australia's arts and culture scene that calls for graphic designers. Fields such as fashion, adventure, and outdoor companies need branding, logos, and prints—ideal for anyone looking to gain experience in the field and explore an additional creative area to work in.
Marketing
Given Australia's progressive art culture, there’s a need to promote the entertainment available. As such, marketing is another popular area for internships in Australia. It’s a great way to boost many different economies, including tourism.
Getting Started
Exploring internship opportunities in Australia can be both rewarding and a bit challenging. Here’s a quick guide to help you navigate each step with ease and confidence.
1. Get matched

2. Choose a program
After getting matches (or finding a program you like), log in or sign up for a MyGoAbroad account. With an account, you can compare any leads side-by-side.
3. Decide when to go
Interning at the right time can change everything! Make sure you have the time to make the most of it.
- Summer. This part of the year is actually quieter since it’s their winter season. There are plenty of options to participate in, though most are indoor.
- Fall. As temperatures rise, several great seasonal options become available, including fieldwork.
- Winter. During Australia’s summer, there are plenty of opportunities ranging from film to more classic office jobs.
- Spring. The most availability happens in the Spring! It’s a great option for those interested in seasonal-focused jobs or events—fashion, sciences, etc.
