Hi everyone

Bec from Atlassian here - I head up global campus recruitment at Atlassian.

We have an internship program in our Sydney office, and we definitely welcome applications from international students. We have had a number of students from Europe (and other global locations) intern here throughout the year. Generally our internship program opens around June, and majority of students complete their internship over our summer (Nov - Feb), however we are definitely flexible on dates (especially for international students), as well as length of placement. You can find out more at atlassian.com/graduates

A few things just to note from my experience recruiting for internship programs (broadly speaking):

- A large number of companies in Australia do not offer internships to international students - best to check online before submitting your application

- You typically need to organise your own visa to enable you to have work rights in Australia. A good place to start to look into visa options is the Australian Government's Immigration website: http://www.immi.gov.au/Work/Pages/Work.aspx

- Most internship/vacation programs run over our summer (end of Nov to end of Feb) and are typically around 12 weeks in duration

Hopefully that has helped you all a little!
