The Australian Network on Disability coordinates the Stepping into internship program. This offers paid work experience to students with disability who are in their second last or last year of university. Students complete work placements during the summer and winter semester breaks.
During the internships the Australian Disability Network provides guidance and advice to interns and their managers.
The aim of this targeted internship program is to give students with disability an opportunity to be involved in meaningful work and develop their professional network.
