Internships
BirdLife
Australia offers a limited number of internship placements each year.
We work in partnership with a number of Australia’s leading universities
and other partners to offer a select number of undergraduate,
post-graduate and early career placements within our projects and departments.
As
an intern, you will work as part of a team in the areas of research,
conservation, marketing and communications or fundraising in accordance
with your field of study. Each internship is formulated to provide you
with valuable experience and introduce you to the challenges and
opportunities you will face in the working world.
Our
placements offer practical experience into the daily operations of a
not-for-profit conservation organisation and opportunities to work side
by side with BirdLife Australia’s staff, many of whom are leaders in
their fields of expertise. Our interns come from a diverse range of
backgrounds, bringing with them fresh insights that add value to our
organisation.
All
current internship positions are advertised below. If you are
interested in a volunteering with BirdLife Australia at any other time,
