Please be aware that according to the Fair Work Ombudsman, unpaid internships should follow these guidelines:
- only be with a voluntary or for a not-for-profit organisation
- be of observatory nature within a business environment.
If you require the student to perform productive activities within the business, they are considered an employee and entitled to be paid. Registered not-for-profits can also advertise voluntary opportunities free of charge on MQ Employer Connect
We encourage you to keep your advertisements simple and informative, and include the following information:
- job title

Award and agreement free juniors get paid a percentage of the national minimum wage. The percentages are the same as the aged-based percentage scale in the Miscellaneous Award.
If you are a not-for-profit organisation advertising for an unpaid position, please specify if you provide insurance for your volunteers in the job description.
