Volunteer Opportunities:
The University follows the guidelines and classifications of Volunteering Australia regarding volunteer work. Therefore, will only advertise volunteer opportunities that adhere to the
National Standards for Volunteer Involvement.
The University will only advertise volunteer opportunities that are part of a formal volunteer program offered by a volunteer or not-for-profit organisation and Government organisations.
Unpaid Opportunities:
The University will only allow the advertisement of unpaid opportunities if:
1. the opportunity presents a genuine discipline-related learning experience and, where practical, can be incorporated into a credit-bearing unit of study.
2. the opportunity does not exceed 100 hours over a 3 month period (unless undertaken as an approved course-required internship or placement with specific requirements in relation to hours).
3. the host organisation is aware of their obligations regarding unpaid work under the Fair Work Act 2009 and has read and understood the
Unpaid Work Fact Sheet.
The placement of students in unpaid internships/work experience roles is at the discretion of the student in question and subject to the course requirements of the relevant School. It is encouraged for Employers seeking internships for unpaid work experience roles to contact the appropriate Course Coordinator directly.
When an unpaid opportunity is approved, the following message will be added by the University to the detail section of the opportunity for student/graduate consideration:
“IMPORTANT INFORMATION”
Where possible, you should try to align unpaid/volunteer opportunities to a course-required, credit baring unit of study and seek the approval of the relevant unit coordinator to ensure the opportunity satisfies the unit’s learning objectives and assessment criteria. Where you do not have a course required internship or placement, please review the Unpaid Work fact sheet when considering an unpaid opportunity.
Western Sydney University limits the advertisement of unpaid opportunities to 100 hours within a 3 month period. Should you or the organisation wish to extend the opportunity beyond this period, this should be negotiated as paid work.
