Dear Students and Families,

Please read below this great opportunity for our students to apply for a Work Experience placement at the Parliament of Victoria. For full details please click on the link below.

Expressions of interest to complete a work experience placement at the Parliament of Victoria in terms 3 and 4, 2024 are now open.  Please encourage interested students to visit our website and lodge an expression of interest via the online link:  https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/teach-and-learn/work-experience/ 

Students can choose between two programs, Sitting and Services, and placements are open to students in Victorian schools who are residents of Victoria, and are 15 years or over at the time of the placement.  We endeavour to choose students from a mixture of government, independent, and Catholic schools, from metropolitan and regional areas, and of all gender identities.   

Parliamentary Sitting placements provide the opportunity to see the law-making process up close. Students will go behind the scenes with the staff who directly support Parliament sittings, to get a deeper understanding of our democratic processes. 

Parliamentary Services placements offer a variety of opportunities that can be matched with a broad range of student interests and career goals, including business operations, facilities management and maintenance, broadcast (Hansard), and hospitality (kitchen).

Expressions of interest for terms 3 & 4 will close at 5:00pm on Friday 5 July 2024.  Interested students will be notified of the outcome of their submission no later than Friday 26 July.
