Internship Requirements+

Interns are selected on a competitive basis and are matched to suitable roles. Students undertake their internship through enrolment in a UWA McCusker Centre for Citizenship Internship unit. To be considered in the matching process, applicants confirm they understand and agree to the terms and conditions below.

Active Engagement: I will fully engage with the Internships unit, observe assessments and attend all compulsory sessions, including the introductory sessions. I understand that any absence will require Special Consideration.

Course Compatibility: I have verified that I have space for a 6-point elective unit within my course or I will complete the unit as a Micro-credential with the UWA+ Program.

Seminar attendance: I will attend the Introduction to Active Citizenship seminar, the Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Training and Seminar 3, and I will book the session through CAS after my placement is confirmed.

Timely Communication: I commit to promptly responding to communication from the McCusker Centre, typically via student email, phone, or MS Teams.

Program Purpose: I understand that the McCusker Centre Internship Program emphasises service to the community and differs from work experience or Work Integrated Learning. Please review our purpose on the website.

Service Hours: I will complete 100 hours of community service with the appointed organisation, to the best of my abilities.

Competitive Nature: I acknowledge the program's competitive nature and that some applications might not be successful.

Role Acceptance: If offered a role and I decline, I understand I might not receive another offer in this round.

Program requirements are detailed in the Handbook and the Internship Guide for Students. Once enrolled, this guide and LMS are your primary sources of unit information and internship progress.

Eligibility Requirements+

To be eligible for our program, you must:

  • Be a currently enrolled UWA student
  • Be of good standing with a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 50 or above
  • Have good interpersonal skills
  • Have good written and spoken communication skills

Postgraduate/Honours students only

Be eligible via Student Advising Office approval (you will need to request this at the point of application, see application form for details)

How to Apply+

  1. Review your study plan and consider your other commitments to ensure that you can undertake an internship as part of your course.
  2. Read the Internship Guide for Students to familiarise yourself with the program requirements.
  3. View the list of internships on offer below. This will give you an idea of the types of roles we have available this round. However, please note your application is for the program, not a specific role.
  4. Consider if you will need a Working with Children Check and/or a National Police Clearance. Be prepared to obtain these before starting your internship, including covering any associated expenses.
  5. Review the Dates and Deadlines section (these dates may be subject to change but are a good guide).
  6. Seek the additional information you may need. Check askUWA, or email the Internships Team.
  7. Prepare a current CV, for which UWA Careers and Employability can assist you. You can find the Résumé Factsheet here.
  8. Submit your application via our webform above. Please answer all questions carefully - it is a good idea to draft and workshop answers first (e.g. in Word), then copy them into the application form. Strong applications will be well written, provide good detail about your skills and experiences, and align closely with the program's ethos of active citizenship.

What Happens Next?+

Our program is competitive; there are always more applications than roles. Your application will be considered for its quality and suitability to available roles. We take into account your CV, answers to application questions, areas of interest and identified skills.

Please check your student email regularly; this is how we will contact you if we have any questions. After the closing date of applications, you will be asked to confirm that you still wish to be considered.

Applicants are then matched to roles based on their interests and skills and the specific requirements of the available roles. When selecting and matching, preferences will usually, but not always, be given to:

• Applications ranked highly;

• Applications that indicate a ‘for credit’ unit option;

• Applicants who have not undertaken an Internship with the centre before; and

• Applicants who are enrolled in the Active Citizenship Minor.

These criteria cannot be strictly observed because the Internships Coordinator needs to consider best suitability to available roles based on the applicant’s course of study, preferences indicated in the application, and other skills identified by the applicant.

By the outcome date (listed in Dates and Deadlines) you will be notified of the outcome of your application. If successfully matched to an internship role, you will receive further instructions about enrolment. If your application is unsuccessful, you are strongly encouraged to try again in a future round.

Many internships incur small incidental costs, like any university unit. These are minimal and, in most cases, less than the cost of text books. For example, you may be required to obtain a Police Clearance, Working with Children Check, or a sector-specific screening check. You will also need to factor in transport costs (i.e. fuel or public transport).

Project Intern, Rare Diseases Family Support Program

Department of Health - Child and Adolescent Health Service — Summer (November - December)

The Rare Care Centre is working to establish a family support program for children and their families in Western Australia (WA) who live with a rare or undiagnosed disease (RUD). There are over 8000 known rare diseases, 70% of which have an onset in childhood. In WA, 63000 children have an RUD, enough to fill every seat at Optus Stadium. Rare and undiagnosed diseases impact the whole life of a child and their family, including physical and mental health, education, emotional health and wellbeing, welfare, social, and finances. Children with RUD often fall into the gaps between the sectors as they have complex care and support needs. The purpose of a family support program will be to provide information, activities and peer-peer connections for the whole family in a facilitated setting. This program will involve collaboration with local non-government organisations, and other government sectors such as Department of Education, NDIS, Department of Communities and Primary Care. This project is to undertake desktop research in the form of a scoping literature review with local, national and international benchmarking of similar programs. The intern will also have access to a consumer reference group and youth reference group to add lived experience to their research. The information collected will be synthesised to provide options and recommendations about the format and key components for inclusion in the program.

Disability Policy Review Intern

PeopleKind Group Ltd — Summer (November - December)

By way of background, the role and demands upon disability service providers continue to evolve and place increasing strain upon such organisations. That, in turn, necessitates an ongoing need to review and update our Policies and Procedures. Most of such changes can be readily managed within the internal resources of the organisation. However, where such reviews entail complex and significant changes that can place considerable strain on our internal resources. By way of example the following Policies need to be addressed. * Supported Decision Making and Choice * Supported Independent Living Services * Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) * Regulation and Elimination of Restrictive Practices * Further we need to develop a Guardianship Policy – this is important - any person who is subject to a restrictive practice needs to have such a practice formally approved by a Guardian – being a parent is no longer deemed to have authority to approve such a practice. The Policies in question support Nulsen Disability Services (NDS), a large Perth-based disability services provider based in Cannington and an arm of PeopleKind Group. The Intern will be based in Burswood and will be working closely with the Manager, Internal Audit & Policy during the duration of the project. Also, the Intern will initially meet with the NDS CEO based in Cannington who has commissioned this work to be undertaken.
