Work experience Opportunities

Please note that due to the evolving COVID-19 situation Georges River Council may not be able to guarantee any Work Experience placements for students at this time.

Georges River Council is committed to supporting our local community by offering the opportunity to undertake work experience across a broad range of employment and professional areas. Areas of work experience may include:

General Administration
Library Services
Children’s Services
Museum and Gallery
Information Technology
Human Resources
Finance
Legal Services
Planning

While we place as many students as possible due to high demand, we are unable to guarantee that all requests for placements will be met. We encourage that students also apply for work experience at other organisations where possible.

We accept students who are required to undertake work placements in association with study and/or qualifications.

To be eligible for placement you must:
- Be currently studying (High School, TAFE, University or College).
- Apply for a placement that is relevant to your current study requirements; and
- Have current insurance coverage from educational provider (Certificate of Currency) covering the duration of your placement.
