The challenge

Placement demand is growing faster than placement teams

Work-integrated learning is expanding across disciplines, while placement work stays seasonal, specialised and closely audited.

Peaks

Demand arrives in waves

Every intake brings a rush of students who need hosts at the same time, then the workload drops away.

Coverage

Every discipline needs its own network

Finding hosts for business, IT, engineering and community services means maintaining very different employer contacts.

Evidence

Audits need complete records

Regulators expect evidence that each placement meets the course requirement, and that students were safe and supported.

What a partnership includes

Everything from onboarding to the termly report

  • Onboarding and mapping of each course and unit placement requirement
  • Cohort placement to your deadline, across all disciplines
  • A compliance pack for every student
  • Termly reporting on placements requested, placed, completed and at risk
  • One account manager for all your courses

The compliance pack, for each student

  • Signed tripartite placement agreement
  • Eligibility record, including the CRICOS work component check for international students
  • Safety induction confirmation from the host
  • Attendance log and check-in notes
  • Supervisor evaluation and completion record
  • Incident record, where relevant

Questions from providers

What course teams ask us

Do you replace our placement team?
No. We extend it. Many partners keep their own team for some courses and use InternLink for overflow, new disciplines or peak intakes.
Who assesses the student?
Your academic staff assess the student. We provide the agreement, attendance, supervisor evaluation and other evidence they need.
Can you place international students?
Yes. We confirm the placement is a compulsory work component of the CRICOS-registered course before the student starts, and record that check.
What happens if a placement breaks down?
We tell you within 48 hours, support the student and host, and where possible arrange a replacement placement.
How is student information protected?
We follow the Australian Privacy Principles, share information only with the host and your staff, and keep records for the period your policies require.
