Summer Internship Program

You’ll need your resume and most recent academic transcript (or Statement of Results) ready to upload.

Next, we’ll ask selected applicants to complete three online assessments. Quick, 45-minute tasks that can be done from home, they tell us more about you, how you think and how you problem solve.

From there, a successful online assessment turns into a digital interview. Tell us more about yourself and why you want to intern at nbn by answering a series of short, pre-recorded questions using the front-facing camera on your mobile or computer.

We send email invites with a 72-hour deadline – if you miss it, please contact us.

For those who make it this far, a virtual interview is up next. We’ll invite you to meet with nbn business leaders where you can share more about your experience and why you’re interested in interning at nbn.

Get ready for your interview with help from the 'STAR' technique and our other tips.

Before we offer successful applicants a place in our Summer Internship Program, we complete a background check. This may include:

• A 100-point identification check
• Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) and eligibility to work confirmation
• Anti-money laundering checks
• Employment verification
• National criminal record check
• Reference checks

All clear? We’ll offer you a place in the program, with our Internships Manager staying in touch to make sure you have everything you need to get started in November 2025.

Keep checking your registered email address to stay up to date with your application’s process. We’ll let you know if you’re unsuccessful at any stage.

The closing date for applications is 11.59pm AEST, Sunday 31 August.

The upcoming Summer Internship Program will run from November 2025 to February 2026. We’ll let successful applicants know the exact start and end dates.

Interns must be able to commit to working from November 2025 to February 2026. Currently, no other dates are planned but please continue to check our Careers pages for future opportunities.

Our Internship Program typically runs out of our Melbourne (Docklands) and Sydney (North Sydney) offices. Other locations may be considered depending on the position/stream. Please refer to location details in our job adverts (once posted).

Yes, our interns work full-time hours – a standard 38-hour working week.

While nbn has a flexible working policy, we strongly encourage our interns to work in the office as often as possible to make the most of their internship experience.

Our Summer Internship Program is a paid position. We’ll discuss pay with successful applicants before the program starts, with wages paid fortnightly.

Like our full-time employees, interns will have access to our Employee Assistance Program and will accrue annual and personal leave from day one.

Our Summer Internship Program recruitment process involves six steps. We'll be in touch after each one to let you know your application's progress.

Offers will be made to successful applicants in October.
