Australia Internship Program

It is hard or almost impossible to get an internship placement in Australia on your own. Therefore we offer special services for interns. We are your contact to prepare your entire stay in Australia and we offer this information for free. 

Please note: Internships in Australia are usually unpaid.

There are some internships in hospitality where it could be possible to get money, but you have to show work experience in your field.

English language knowledge

All companies expect good English knowledge. Therefore all interns are required to have sufficient English language skills for effective workplace communication. A guide to the required language level for Interns is TOEFL 550 or IELTS 6.

If you need to improve you English we can help you to find a suitable English language course.
