NHMRC Indigenous Internship Program

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) offers opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolled in an Undergraduate or Masters degree in a health or medical research related field to take up a (virtual) internship in the agency. The internship runs for 200 hours or more from mid-November to mid-January during the summer university break, with flexibility around timeframes especially for recent graduates. Internships are a full-time commitment usually around 37.5 hours per week and Indigenous interns are paid at the APS 2 Level salary. Participants must commit to the minimum internship length of 200 hours. This program provides valuable work experience in health and medical research while supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in their educational and career development.
