In Australia, most of our interns are placed in Sydney, although we also make placements in Melbourne and along the Queensland coast depending on the season and the nature of your placement. We have placed interns into most industry sectors including accounting, law, education, business, fashion, international trade, IT, human resources, finance, media, marketing, sports, events, and tourism. If you don’t see a vacancy or field that suits you, simply make an enquiry or apply for our tailor-made internship program and we’ll find something that meets your Universities and your own expectations. Everyone loves taking internships in Sydney for the excellent balance between learning and lifestyle.
