Student placement and volunteering

Student Placement & Work Experience 

Nillumbik Council is sometimes able to provide opportunities for work experience to students, providing an understanding of local government and exposure to a formal work environment. Expressions of Interest and enquires for Work Experience for year 9/10/11/12 secondary, TAFE, and tertiary students can be made to work.experience@nillumbik.vic.gov.au

The maximum placement is two weeks (10 days) per secondary school student.

Expressions of Interest must include the following information: 

  • Your preferred dates of placement
  • The type of work experience you are interested in (for example the service or department of Council that interests you).
  • Confirmation that you are currently studying, the name of the institution that you are enrolled with, and your current program of study (i.e. year 11, or TAFE studying Cert IV including which course).

To enable us to assist you, please submit your application as early as possible ahead of your desired placement dates as requests for a placement with less than 6 weeks’ notice are often not possible.

Please send requests via email to work.experience@nillumbik.vic.gov.au

Enquiries can also be made to the Human Resources team on 03 9433 3382.

Volunteering

Aside from Youth Council and Nillumbeats, Nillumbik Youth is always on the look out for young people to volunteer and work on short-term youth-lead projects throughout the year. To keep up to date with the latest opportunities follow us on Instagram, or email youth@nillumbik.vic.gov.au to be added to our mailing list. 

Other volunteering opportunties can be found on the Nillumbik Shire Council volunteering page.
