What's included
  • Matching with a real Australian host business in your field
  • Resume & interview preparation
  • A dedicated coordinator supporting you throughout your placement
  • Liaison with your host company on your behalf

The fine print, plainly stated
  • This is a fee-based placement program, not a paid internship.
  • Virtual placements: $1,200 incl. GST for any field, including engineering ($200 today, then every 2 weeks).
  • Instalments are charged every 2 weeks from your first payment. Prefer to pay in full? You can.
  • 7-day cooling-off: full refund within 7 days of payment, provided host outreach hasn't begun.
  • If we can't secure you a suitable host within 8 weeks of your profile being complete, you can choose a full refund or keep waiting while we search.
  • The Certificate of Completion is issued by Intern Gateway and is not a nationally recognised qualification.

How it works

From application to day one

1

Apply

Two minutes, no payment. Tell us your field, location and when you'd like to start.

2

Talk to our team

A coordinator calls you to confirm you're a good fit — no obligation.

3

Match & prepare

Make your first payment, or pay in full. Over the next 4 weeks we match you with a host and prepare you for the interview.

4

Start your placement

You begin your placement (12 weeks as standard, shorter if your course requires) with your coordinator supporting you throughout.

Before you apply

Questions students usually ask first

Is the internship paid?+

No. It's an unpaid vocational placement. Our fee covers the placement service — matching, preparation and coordinator support — not a wage. Many interns are offered paid work by their host once the placement ends, but that's between you and the employer.

Who can apply?+

Current students, domestic or international. Graduates can also apply and are assessed case by case. International applicants need valid Australian work rights for the length of the placement.

Where are placements?+

Australia-wide — every state and territory, in capital cities and regional areas. Virtual placements are also available ($1,200 incl. GST, any field including engineering).

How does the payment plan work?+

Pay in full, or split your fee into 6 instalments: one today, then one every 2 weeks. That is 6 × $250 for most fields, $415 then 5 × $417 for engineering, and 6 × $200 for virtual placements in any field. Instalments are charged automatically to the same card, at no extra cost.

What if you can't find me a host?+

If we can't secure a suitable host within 8 weeks of your profile being complete, you can choose a full refund or keep waiting while we continue searching.

Step 1

Apply for a placement

Two minutes. No payment at this step — a coordinator will contact you to talk through your field, location and start date.
