Fair Work Australia’s Guidelines for Unpaid Work Experience & Internships

When you participate in an internship through Australian Internships, you can be assured that we are fully compliant with Fair Work Australia guidelines. In addition,  we maintain regular communication with Fair Work Australia regarding quality internship options for international students and young professionals.

They have defined lawful unpaid work to include work trials, volunteer work, work experience and internships. It also includes a vocational placement as defined under the Fair Work Act 2009. Unpaid work is lawful if it is a genuine work experience, vocational placement or volunteering arrangement.

Modern Slavery Policy

Australian Internships supports the Home Affairs guidance regarding the Modern Slavery Act 2018 and key actions entities can take to reduce the risk of vulnerable workers in their operations and supply chains becoming exposed to modern slavery.

The Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018, effective from 1 January 1 2019 requires large businesses and entities in Australia with annual revenues of at least A$100 million to report on modern slavery risks.

This mandate helps businesses identify and address modern slavery in their supply chains, promoting responsibility and transparency. Entities, including the Australian Government, must submit annual Modern Slavery Statements detailing their efforts. These statements are published online in a central register.

We advise our host organisations to the following link for further details: www.homeaffairs.gov.au.

These core values extend to our clients, partners, and staff. We are dedicated to providing programs and services accessible to candidates from all backgrounds, aiming to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. Our team embodies this commitment, striving to mirror the global marketplace.
