What if we didn’t focus on who you are now, but who you could become?

At EY, we value you for your unique perspective and potential. We bring together extraordinary people, like you, to build a better working world. We're offering you more than just a job - we're offering you the exceptional EY experience. After all, it's not just about where you're going; it's about how you'll grow to get there.

What’s in it for you?

We offer more than just an internship. We offer a launchpad for personal and professional growth. You'll foster a strong network of colleagues, mentors, and leaders who are committed to supporting you on your EY journey and beyond. From the start, you'll receive dedicated training and coaching, work hands-on with real clients, and immerse in EY’s vibrant culture. Those who stand out may be offered a permanent role after graduation.

As an Indigenous Intern you can explore your interests and expect to participate in a structured program including:

  • Induction program, skill development workshops and technical training.
  • Learning from an Indigenous mentor who will assist you throughout your EY journey.
  • Yarning circles to connect you with other Indigenous interns across Australia.
  • Social events to assist you to build your networks across service lines.

We’re currently looking for students from a range of degrees for all EY service lines. You can find out more about our service lines and teams by visiting our careers pages:
