To apply you will need to:
- Complete the application form
- Send a resume/CV (see example)
- Send a covering letter (see example)
- Give us at least 8 weeks notice before the date you want to start your internship (14 weeks in the case of 416 Special Program Visa applicants). Please note that in some cases you may be required to provide 12 weeks notice. This may be the case for very specific requests. You will be notified of this at the time of application.
- Pay a deposit of $600. The following fees are also payable at the time of application:
a. Visa fees (if your getting a 416 or an OT visa through MPI)
b. Insurance fees (if you're getting travel insurance through MPI)
c. Express service fee (if you're applying for the 'express service')
- Read our terms and conditions
- Show us evidence of having 'personal liability insurance'.
All applicants undertaking an internship in Australia must have personal liability insurance. This is not the same as Public liability insurance. MPI covers all applicants for public liability insurance under its own cover as part of the internship fee.
In addition, applicants are also required to have their own personal liability insurance. All applicants must show evidence of having personal liability insurance at the time of application. This may also be a mandatory condition of your visa as in the case of "416 Special Program Visa".
MPI is able to arrange this for you if you are unable to arrange insurance yourself. Please click here for more details
- You may need to have a quick interview at our office or on the phone.
Interns can choose the hours and days they want to intern for. We will design the internship to suit your needs. Prices are the same regardless of the number of hours and days.
What happens after your application:
We have a look at your CV, Cover letter and your industry preferences. We evaluate your preferences and start looking for companies that suit your ability and desire.
We make sure that it's a custom designed internship in your field of study or interest where you can apply all your knowledge and gain valuable work experience and insight into the Australian working culture.
Once we have found an appropriate placement for you we send you all the information you need.
For applicants arrinving in Sydney or Melbourne, we offer weekly orientation sessions to help you understand living in Australia.
