HOW TO APPLY

You will be asked to complete several questions and upload a two page resume and one page cover letter.

Things to note: 

AIIA is run by volunteers so there are no standard office hours. We can be contacted by phone or email. As we are all volunteers, interns are not paid either. As you probably know, life can get a little crazy so you’ll have to be self-motivated and reliable to keep up. Your work will be balanced between pursuing your own interests and general tasks AIIA needs to run.

We ask that our interns make a two-semester commitment (however we are willing to make exceptions for an amazing candidates) and become members of AIIA. All interns must be available to help with fortnightly events held on Tuesday nights (twice per month) in Brisbane CBD.

Interviews are individual and last around 15-20 minutes. Applicants will be notified by email if they are successful to make the interview phase.
