LEGAL INTERNSHIPS
AURORA NATIVE TITLE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The Program introduces law students and graduates to career opportunities in native title, policy development, social justice and Indigenous affairs
and aims to provide assistance to under-resourced and over-worked Native Title Representative Bodies (NTRBs), Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBCs) as well as to various other organisations
working in these areas including Indigenous corporations, government bodies, community groups and other policy organisations.

There are two intakes for interns annually, during the summer and winter university breaks, for five to six weeks, with some flexibility. Applications open in March and August of each year.
Applications are open to law students who have completed, or are currently completing, the Property Law component of their legal studies.
Internships are offered Australia-wide and we seek applicants who have a keen interest in some or all of the above mentioned areas.
NTRBs, PBCs and other host
organisations are located in:
Adelaide, Alice Springs, Brisbane, Broome, Cairns, Camooweal, Canberra, Darwin, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Kununurra, Melbourne, Perth, Port Hedland, Sydney and Thursday Island.

Longer paid placements
Applications are also open to law students and graduates as well as to qualified solicitors, usually following on from an internship. Placements can start at two months and may continue for up to one year.
Duties, conditions and remuneration vary from position to position.

Applications
Applications for the winter 2014 round of internships will be accepted online via our website between 9am AEST Monday 3rd March through to 5pm AEST Friday 28th March 2014.
