What jobs can you advertise?

Advertising paid work

Advertise your paid work opportunities, including casual jobs, internships and graduate roles.

Advertising unpaid work

In accordance with the Fair Work Act, we are able to publish any businesses’ advertisements for unpaid work as part of internships, work experience or volunteer positions, when either of these requirements are met:

  • the position fulfils part of a University curriculum – for instance, an internship – and has faculty approval. To set up a University-endorsed internship, contact the relevant faculty. If you need advice on which faculty to contact, please contact us for further information.

What jobs you cannot advertise

In accordance with the Fair Work Act, we are unable to publish any businesses’ advertisements for unpaid work as part of internships, work experience or volunteer positions when the following applies:

  • unpaid work for businesses, including unpaid internships and work experience, unpaid training, unpaid trial periods, or pay below award (eg, stipends). Unpaid work for a business may only be offered through a faculty, for course credit.

  • employment requiring the purchase of products or services, including application and program fees, or a security deposit, eg, work and travel opportunities.

  • jobs that require a student to have an Australian Business Number (ABN) (including tutoring positions).

You can access the full list via our advertising terms and conditions page.

What to include in your job advertisment

Advertisements that are clear and informative achieve higher response rates. Make sure you include:

  • make it attractive, and be sure your job title reflects the role you are advertising.

  • follow your title with three dot points highlighting the main benefits of the job, making sure to include details of the salary/pay and any unique offerings. It is also useful in this section to note where the role is based and how accessible it is. Visit the Fair Work website for pay rates and other employment conditions, or call the help line on 13 13 94.

  • in the body of your advertisement, summarise the primary purpose of the role and where it fits in to the company. The summary is important, as this is what appears in searches.

  • to ensure you get the most relevant applicants, be clear about the ‘essential’ and ‘desirable’ skills, qualifications and experience a candidate needs in order to be successful in the role.

  • conclude your advertisement by painting a picture of why people enjoy working in this company.

  • How to apply and closing dates for applications.

  • A phone number or email address for enquiries can help you eliminate unsuitable candidates early on in the process.

This allows you to filter out unsuitable candidates prior to interview, providing useful clues to character, education level, and communication style.

  • Relevant information at the bottom of your ad to manage timeline expectations, eg, "Applicants shortlisted for an interview will be contacted by 20 September."
