Ready to gain paid, meaningful work experience with disability-inclusive employers?

Applications are now open for the Australian Disability Network's (AusDN) Internship Program. This session will provide practical tips to help you apply with confidence, showcase your strengths and prepare for success in the workplace. 

In this session, we'll cover:

  • Internships: Current AusDN opportunities, eligibility and tips for submitting a strong application.
  • Making informed disclosure choices: How, when and why you might choose to share information about your disability with an employer—or keep it private.
  • Reasonable adjustments: What they are and how to request support during recruitment and in the workplace.
  • Finding your fit: How to identify employers that are genuinely inclusive and supportive.
  • Knowing what you need: Building confidence to communicate your strengths, preferences and workplace support needs.
  • GradWISE and beyond university: An overview of employment support and pathways available as you transition from study into work.

There is no single right answer when it comes to disclosure. This session will help you understand your options and make choices that suit your circumstances, goals and comfort level.
