Work experience

WEHI’s Secondary School Work Experience Program has been temporarily paused for the remainder of 2026.

As a result, we are not accepting or processing new work experience applications at this time. We ask that prospective participants do not contact supervisors directly, as individual or ad-hoc work experience placements are also unavailable.

This pause is temporary and we look forward to welcoming secondary school students back to WEHI when we relaunch the program in 2027.
