Higher education careers support

University careers services in Australia generally offer a similar range of services to those offered by UK university careers services, e.g. careers counselling/interviews and job search training, general careers information and links to employers including vacancy listings. The specific services and the amount of help they are able to provide for international students and graduates will vary between institutions.

For links to specific university websites, visit the Australian Universities website. For further information, see Graduate Careers Australia.
