Qualification & VISA

Interns in Australia are young men and women who are non-Australian citizens, with a Bachelor's or Master's degree (or equivalent), and some work experience in a business or office setting.

Interns don't have to be a native English-speaker, but your written and spoken English must be an acceptable level. You stand a better chance of being placed if they can type accurately at 50+ words-per-minute and are familiar with the word processors, spreadsheets, and other computer packages popularly used in business.

Interns are ambassadors for the home country so we are seeking young professionals with a high degree of maturity and integrity who present themselves well. Applicants should be self-starters / self-completers, who are not afraid of hard work, and are prepared to make and honor 3 months, 6 months or longer. Interns should be quite prepared to adapt to the Australian way of doing things.
