Two decades of quality, innovation and expertise lead to this special milestone

We started out with an office run from home and today we employ 20 staff, have offices in Brisbane and Sydney and arrange up to 2000 internship programs annually.  Our founding beliefs remain our top priority today and I believe because of that - our company remains viable, strong and growing. Our philosophy, from the beginning, was always to be non-discriminatory to race, religion, nationalities and the industries we work with.
A big thank you to the hundreds of valued partners, customers, stakeholders and friends, but especially to those who had faith in me and Australian Internships from the very beginning. We have achieved this milestone through the hard work and dedication of our staff and our culture of customer service.
