About the Australia Institute

The Australia Institute is an independent Canberra-based think tank. We conduct original research that contributes to a more just, sustainable and peaceful society. Our research covers a broad range of economic, social, integrity and environmental issues in order to inform public debate and bring greater accountability to the democratic process.

About the Internship

The intern will work with the Climate & Energy Director across all areas of the Institute including research, communications, and political, community and stakeholder engagement.

The purpose of this internship is to equip future leaders with the skills and experience to create progressive change. The position is for a fixed term of 12 months, full-time, though this can be flexible to accommodate study. We can offer up to $1000 to assist with the cost of moving to Canberra from interstate. This is a position for people beginning their career. We expect that at the end of 12 months, interns will leave The Australia Institute with the skills, knowledge and experience to move into positions within the NGO sector, public service or Parliament.

Experience with climate change and energy policy or research is desirable.
