Recruitment Process

We will continue to hold Assessment Days for all internship recruitment.

Our Summer Internship Assessment Day will be held on Friday, 6 October 2024 and shortlisted candidates must be available to attend in either our Sydney or Melbourne offices.

Following the Assessment Day, selected candidates will be asked back for formal interviews which are expected to take place in the week following.

The Internship will run from 20 November 2024 to 25 January 2025 with a holiday break over the Christmas and New Year’s period.
