Work Experience – Science and Medical

Students interested in a science or medical career, should consider applying for a work experience placement with the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR Berghofer), or with the Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organisation (CSIRO).

• QIMR Berghofer in Brisbane offers a range of work experience programs during school holidays for Year 11 and 12 students. Students have the opportunity to work with researchers on current medical research projects.
• CSIRO offers students in Years 10 to 12 the chance to gain first-hand experience of research in a scientific environment. In 2019, CSIRO is also offering ‘virtual’ work experience for regional and remote students. This program will provide an opportunity for students to undertake collaborative, group (STEM) projects without having to leave their towns or communities.
