When you’re living abroad in a new country, the community you surround yourself with is everything. Having both a support network as well as friends with whom to explore Australia is one of the main benefits to interning abroad rather than traveling alone.  The Intern Group’s global community is frequently one of the most impactful elements of an intern’s time abroad. With over 150 nationalities represented, it is just as diverse as Melbourne itself! The friends and contacts you meet in Australia will last for a lifetime, and your shared experiences abroad often make them stronger than those you make back home. Of course, Melbourne is a notoriously welcoming city and is one of Australia’s top destinations for university students, making it easy to meet people.

Our on the ground Melbourne team offers 24/7 support with local expertise, from start to finish. They are incredibly proud of the city’s life & culture and they want to show you why! They will organize your airport pick-up when you arrive in Melbourne. The team will also provide a thorough welcome orientation to help you settle into the city and feel at ease. Our Melbourne team is available throughout your internship program should you have any questions or queries.

We also partner with Talkspace to provide all our participants with fully anonymous access to a licensed online therapist for up to 3 months. This ensures you’ll always have someone to talk to when adjusting to life in your new city.
