Internships are a valuable learning experience for all applicants.
One to two days per week in conjunction with the classes on the remaining three days (or any combination)
Internships can be from 2 weeks up to 3 months (part time - 3 days a week in conjunction with Language classes on the remaining 2 days)

Homestay Australia provides:
Company placement

Homestay
Homestay can be a valuable part of the learning process for applicants involved in an Internship program. Through daily interaction with their homestay, applicants can improve their English at an accelerated rate in comparison to residing in shared accommodation.
Insurance
All applicants are covered by Public Liability Insurance provided by Homestay Australia or applicants are covered by their University.
Applicants who are covered through arrangements made by Homestay Australia can expect to pay approximately $100.00 to $250.00 for their Insurance cover. The longer the period in Internship, the higher the cost of Insurance.
Visa
Student visa holders are only eligible to do an internship in the period covered by their visa. Most student visas have an extra 4 weeks at the end of their visa after their study is due to finish.
Full-time internships can only occur during this time. Part-time internships (maximum 20 hours per week) are also possible on a student visa.
Visitor visa holders are only able to do an internship for a maximum period of 3 months. The holder is entitled to work in an unpaid position as long as the job is not usually a paid position.
This means that the internship is usually in a not-for profit organisation and in most instances the applicant simply observes the role.
Working Holiday visas are for 12 months. The holder can work (paid or unpaid) for any one employer for a maximum of 3 months. It is also possible to study for a maximum of 3 months on this visa.

Applicants can be provided with Internship with no connection to a University or Language school. Applicants in these cases are required to complete the one week Orientation prior to beginning Internship.
