Document background
This Unpaid Internship Contract is designed for use in Australia when organizations wish to establish legally compliant unpaid vocational placements. It is specifically structured to meet the requirements of the Fair Work Act 2009, which only permits unpaid internships when they form part of an educational or vocational course. The document includes comprehensive provisions covering supervision, learning objectives, workplace safety, and organizational policies, while clearly establishing the non-employment nature of the relationship. It's particularly relevant for organizations that regularly host student interns or participate in educational institution placement programs. The contract helps protect both the host organization and the intern by clearly defining expectations, responsibilities, and the educational purpose of the arrangement.
