We encourage applications from all backgrounds, including those that are under-represented in politics and public administration, such as Indigenous Australians, people with disability, women and people from culturally diverse backgrounds.

An electorate is the geographical area that an MP represents. They usually have a staff of one or two people who assist them with their duties. These duties include:

• Organising events and meetings
• Providing constituent services (including answering questions and feedback)
• Development policy advice to constituents on local issues

The internship program is designed for university students who want to experience a professional work environment and apply their academic knowledge in a practical setting.

You will be working in an electorate office, which provides you with hands-on experiences that you can use as references on your resume and in future job interviews.

You will also have the opportunity to learn about the parliamentary system by observing how parliamentarians interact with their constituents, colleagues and staff members. As interns, we are given challenging tasks that require creativity, problem solving skills and teamwork capabilities. We often have to work under tight deadlines because MPs receive a lot of requests from their constituents every day. In order to meet these deadlines successfully we need everyone’s help; this is why we always encourage interns to participate actively during meetings or events so they can gain more experience!

Interns will undertake tasks that assist the member in their electorate office and within the community through regional visits.
