Work experience is open to secondary school students as part of a continuing commitment to providing work related experiences within a museum environment.
Many students apply for work experience at the Australian Museum. However, with limited available places we unfortunately cannot place all applicants. It is advisable that students make additional applications for work experience within other institutions, agencies or businesses should they be unsuccessful in application to the Australian Museum.
The following sections within the Australian Museum take students for work experience. The links provide an overview and information about each section. Sections may only take two or three students per year, so competition for placement is high. Please do not approach or contact any Museum section directly to apply for work experience. Instead, follow the application procedures.
For further information regarding work experience within the Museum or to have an application sent via mail contact:

The work experience application form is only available in PDF format. The FREE Acrobat Reader is required. If you have trouble accessing the PDFs on this page, please Email Wendy Dowers.
