Opportunities to Work with us
Volunteering and internships are not pathways into, or guarantees of future employment with our organisation. Unpaid volunteer and internship roles are designated, supervised, trained and supported with benefit to the community and the volunteer, and are significantly different to paid staff roles.
Infoxchange does look for passionate and talented people to join our team and work with us and we welcome our volunteers and interns to apply for relevant paid staff roles as they are advertised.
We work in both Australia and New Zealand and our main offices are in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Christchurch.
Find out more from our former volunteers and interns who transitioned into becoming staff members, to find out more about why they decided to apply for the available staff positions on offer and work with us: Former Volunteer Samantha Whillas and Former Intern Renu Bala.
