About internships in Australia
Internships are time-bounded learning roles: typically 8 to 16 weeks, paid or unpaid, with a defined mentor and project scope. They span software engineering, design, marketing, research, content, operations, and customer support, and can be remote, hybrid, or on-site depending on the employer.
RealJobsAustralia.com only lists internships that have been manually reviewed before publication. Unpaid "for-exposure" listings disguised as internships are rejected during moderation.

Common questions
- Are these internships paid?
- Many are, especially in software, design, and product. Pay varies by company, location, and your school year. Each listing states the pay or marks it as unpaid; we never hide that.
- Can I do an internship while in college?
- Yes: that's the most common situation. Many internships are explicitly designed around the academic calendar (summer 10–12 week tracks) or accommodate part-time (15–20 hours/week) during the semester. Filter by job type (part-time vs full-time) to narrow.
- Do I need prior experience to apply for an internship?
- No. Internships are entry points. Most require coursework relevance, a portfolio or small project, and clear written communication: not professional experience. Listings that ask for 2+ years of experience are not really internships and get rejected from this page.
- Can international students apply?
- Some, but not all. Australian work-authorization rules apply, so some employers require an existing right to work in Australia (citizen, permanent resident, or an eligible visa). Read each listing's "Who can apply" section before applying.
- How fast do internships fill up?
- Summer internships fill months ahead of the intake: apply early. Off-cycle (year-round) internships are less competitive but rarer. Subscribe to job alerts to be notified the day a new internship is posted.
