This process will be managed by the organisation offering the internship through their standard employment process. This selection process will take place in the second half of the first year of study.
Students may incur a levy of approximately $2000 across the duration of the course for transport, accommodation and camping fees associated with field teaching. This levy will be charged at a unit level depending on the requirements specific to the unit.
