WHAT IS ANIP?

The Australian National Internships Program (ANIP) is a hands-on opportunity for a student to go into a workplace and undertake a research project for which you will get significant academic credit. As part of the real world experience students have the opportunity to work in an office environment, learn to prioritize tasks and deadlines for completion of tasks and learn to express themselves concisely and provide a succinct understanding/précis of a complex topic. An internship is not just work experience, or unpaid help in an office. The major focus is the completion of the Research Report.

Through ANIP, Australian and overseas university students from any discipline can be placed with the Australian Federal Parliament, the Australian Public Service, the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly or Public Service, or with non-government organisations (including lobby groups).

The Australian National Internships Program is located on the campus of the Australian National University (ANU) in Australia's national capital, Canberra, internationally recognised as an outstanding university.

Canberra is the national capital, located between the two major cities of Sydney and Melbourne. As the seat of the federal government it contains the head offices of all federal Departments, the national Parliament and the headquarters of most significant national associations and lobby groups.

Canberra is a "bush capital", just two hours by car from the snowfields two hours from Pacific beaches and three hours from the bright lights of Sydney.
