About GSA
The University of Melbourne Graduate Student Association (GSA) is an independent, student-led, not-for-profit association representing all enrolled postgraduate students at the University of Melbourne.
We are led by a Board, Representative Council and Faculty Council totaling 38 elected graduate students. The organisation is managed by a team of experienced professionals who provide education-related programs and services which position our cohort for success during and after the completion of their advanced studies. A University of Melbourne postgraduate qualification is an incredible asset and GSA is committed to supporting these students through their studies.

Interns will be supported to develop skills in policy development, communications, and student engagement activities. Professional supervision and mentorship will be offered to the participants by trained and qualified staff. The program will provide participants with the opportunity to learn soft and practical skills relevant to their future career development.
