All job advertisements submitted, whether they are paid or unpaid, must comply with:
Positions are displayed ideally for either one or two months, depending on your timeframe. If your position is filled before your advertisement is due to expire, please log in and withdraw your ad.
According to the Fair Work Ombudsman, unpaid internships should:
- only be with a voluntary or for a not-for-profit organisation
- be of observatory nature within a business environment.
If you require the student to perform productive activities within the business, they are considered an employee and entitled to be paid. Registered not-for-profits can also advertise voluntary opportunities free of charge on MQ Employer Connect
We encourage you to keep your advertisements simple and informative, and include the following information:
- job title
- description of duties
- skills and/or experience required
- hours worked, and flexibility with regard to study/exam timetables
- location/suburb of the work
- how to apply and closing date for applications
- pay rate/basis of payment.
To have your job approved, enter a numeric figure or range. This should be at the relevant award rate or above.
Award and agreement free juniors get paid a percentage of the national minimum wage. The percentages are the same as the aged-based percentage scale in the Miscellaneous Award.
If you are a not-for-profit organisation advertising for an unpaid position, specify if you provide insurance for your volunteers in the job description.
