CareerDC charges a coordination fee for each internship program. The service includes a tailored CV update, interview coaching, access to host company interviews, a work experience placement aligned with your studies, an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course if required, and support during your internship.

Gain practical accounting experience

The Accounting Internship Program helps you apply your university learning in a professional environment. Over 12 weeks, you’ll gain exposure to accounting practices across different industries, develop technical proficiency, and build workplace confidence.

Why choose this internship program?

• Experience using industry-standard tools
  Depending on your host company, you may gain experience with accounting software such as Xero, MYOB, or Excel while assisting with day-to-day accounting tasks.
• Apply your studies in real workplaces
  Your tasks could include bookkeeping, preparing reports, reconciliations, or supporting accounts payable and receivable processes. You’ll also gain an understanding of tax, compliance, and financial reporting practices.
• Develop professional and soft skills
  In addition to technical experience, you’ll build communication, teamwork, and organisational skills while adapting to an Australian workplace environment.

Who can apply?

• University students in Australia
  If you’re enrolled in an accounting degree at an Australian university or college, this program can help you complete your placement requirement while gaining practical industry experience.
• Recent graduates and students without a placement requirement
  If your course didn’t include an internship, or you’ve already graduated, you can still participate by combining your placement with a WIL program.
