Through World Internships, we offer flexible customized internships (volunteers are also welcome) in a variety of fields in the "Land Down Under". Realize your dream of living and working in beautiful Australia while enjoying exceptional support and group activities that will engage you with both your fellow international interns and the locals.

Sydney and Melbourne are fantastic locations for students, recent graduates, and pre-professionals to explore their fields and add an international perspective to their resumes. The high creative energy in Sydney and Melbourne makes them the perfect places for internships in advertising, architecture, graphic design, interior design, and journalism, while their popularity as cities make them ideal for those involved with event management, hospitality, travel, and tourism.

Sydney, Australia’s oldest and largest city, boasts the world-famous Sydney Opera House, stunning harbors, and beautiful beaches.

Melbourne is the country’s art center where you can check out the cultural hub of Federation Square, attend one of the many music and film festivals, or spend a day at one of Port Phillip’s many beaches.

Great one month

I had one month of internship in the arts and photography sector. my friends and I went to Australia to have an internship before graduating and I'm happy we did some bonding here hehe. I was a little comfortable at first, thinking maybe it's a scam but good thing I was assured im safe. IGS rocks.

The Great Barrier reef marine park is the highlight of my trip!

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is the highlight of my trip! This is not just a great internship for me, as a future women's rights lawyer, but also a feast for my heart. I am so overwhelmed with the beautiful Australia and the nice citizens. I will surely go back, in a year or two, and see what happens next.
