Where you're coming from

Three ways students end up needing this

Pick whichever sounds like you — it's exactly what the form below asks first.

485 Visa

Temporary Graduate visa

On or approaching your 485 and want relevant Australian work experience on your record while the clock is running — not just a line on a resume, an actual placement with a host employer.

Select "485 Temporary Graduate Visa" below
Course requirement

Final-semester WIL hours

Your course won't let you graduate without a set number of Work Integrated Learning or internship hours, and your semester has a deadline that doesn't move for anyone.

Select "Final-Semester WIL Requirement" below
Professional Year

PY program placement

You've already invested in a Professional Year program — the internship component is the part that actually turns that investment into real experience and a reference.

Select "Professional Year Program" below

What you get

One fee for the placement service — tailored to your field

The placement itself is unpaid, real-world work experience. What you pay for is the matching, preparation and coordinator support that gets you into it and through it. Pricing depends on your field and whether you choose an in-company or virtual placement — apply below and we'll send it to you directly.

Included Placement & support
  • 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
  • Documentation your institution or visa file can use
  • Certificate of Completion from Intern Gateway
Apply for pricing
Payments & refunds
  • Pay in full, or split your fee into instalments at no extra cost
  • All instalments are paid before your placement begins
  • 7-day cooling-off: full refund within 7 days of payment, provided host outreach hasn't begun
  • If we can't secure a suitable host within 8 weeks of enrolment, choose a full refund or keep waiting while we search

Placements are unpaid work experience — many students are offered ongoing paid work by their host employer once the placement ends, but that's between you and the employer, not something we can promise. The Certificate of Completion is issued by Intern Gateway and is not a nationally recognised qualification.

Our placement guarantee, plainly stated

Before you fill in the form

Questions students usually ask first

Is the internship itself a paid job?+

No — the placements are unpaid work experience, which is what satisfies WIL, course, and Professional Year requirements. Our fee covers the placement-and-coaching service: matching you to a host employer and coaching you through it, not a wage.

Do you only place students in Adelaide?+

No — we're Australia-wide. We place students in every state and territory, in capital cities and regional locations, not just one city.

Is this only for recent graduates?+

No — it's open to current students, recent graduates, and anyone working through a visa or Professional Year requirement, whether you're an international or domestic student.

How much does it cost?+

Pricing depends on your field and whether you choose an in-company or virtual placement. Apply using the form below and we'll send your pricing directly — there's no obligation, and you can split the fee into instalments at no extra cost.

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

If we can't secure a suitable host placement within 8 weeks of enrolment, you can choose a full refund or continue to wait while we keep searching.

I'm not sure which requirement applies to me — can I still ask?+

Yes. Select "Other / just exploring" in the form below and tell us what's going on in the notes — we'll point you in the right direction either way.
