Interns Australia is the support and advocacy body for interns and students undertaking work placements in Australia. Our goal is to engage and empower interns, employers, government and other stakeholders to create an employment landscape that is fair, regulated and protects the dignity of interns.

Our Mission

Interns Australia is committed to creating a culture of quality and equitable internships, to supporting interns and employers through a period of legislative uncertainty and to protecting the integrity of the industrial relations system.

To do this, Interns Australia operates across three areas:

• Research: We conduct research to gain quantitative and qualitative data on internship-related issues.
• Consulting and lobbying: We engage with employers, industry and government to promote and facilitate best practice internships and to lobby for law reform to protect interns.
• Education: We raise awareness of issues affecting interns and the value of genuine and worthwhile internships among students, interns, employers, the community and other stakeholders.
