Which program are you interested in?

To be eligible for our student programs, you must be an Australian Citizen, New Zealand Citizen, or an Australian Permanent Resident. If you do not meet this requirement and are interested in joining our Graduate Program, we encourage you to submit an Expression of Interest via our main application form. Expressions of Interest will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, and candidates who are shortlisted will be contacted by our Early Careers team.

Upon submitting an Expression of Interest, you will need to demonstrate the following:

  • Ability to obtain permanent residency or transition to another relevant visa type before the expiry of your current visa.
  • Legal right to work in Australia until permanent residency is granted.
  • Currently in the final year of your degree program or have graduated within the last 24 months at the time of your application.
  • Completion of an English language test in the last 24 months, achieving at least a ‘Proficient’ level of English as defined by the Department of Home Affairs (unless exempt).

Please note: EY will not sponsor students or graduates for residency purposes. Successful candidates who are not permanent residents when offered a graduate position will need to independently apply for and obtain permanent residency.

Due to client requirements:

  • We only accept applications from Australian citizens for our Core Consulting service line in all locations.
  • We only accept applications from Australian citizens for all service lines in our Canberra office (with the exception of Audit).

We encourage international students who do not meet our criteria to consider opportunities with one of our offices in Asia Pacific or around the globe.

Unfortunately, we do not offer work experience placements to high school or university students. Instead we encourage you to consider the wide range of available student programs we currently offer using the tabs above. Each program has been tailored to your needs based on your current year of study.
