Work Placement

Are you a TAFE or university chemistry student?

Would you like to gain laboratory experience across a range of chemistry disciplines including forensic science, environmental science, occupational health and safety, and more?

If so, consider a work placement at ChemCentre. You will get the opportunity to assist with routine work, maintenance of instruments and more. You will learn all the steps from sample registration, preparation and analysis, to reporting.

Vacation Work Program

The ChemCentre vacation work program will provide you with a unique experience, plenty of challenges and an opportunity to use the theories and practical skills that you have developed at university. On top of this you will be working with a team of people who will ensure this time is memorable.

Placements are advertised via the WA Universities' Careers Hubs and via ChemCentre's LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

To be eligible you must be an Australian citizen or hold an appropriate working visa.

Unpaid Internships

Occasionally, ChemCentre will offer unpaid internships. Internships offer students the opportunity to gain valuable practical laboratory experience and learn more about the Chemistry workforce.

The availability of internships varies each year, depending on current projects and the laboratory's capacity for interns. This opportunity is open to TAFE and university students studying chemistry (or related course) in Australia or internationally.

For more information please contact us to discuss upcoming opportunities.

Work Experience for Secondary Students

Unfortunately, ChemCentre is unable to offer work experience opportunities to high school students.

We have a strong community and secondary schools outreach program. Learn more about our Open Day and our Outreach and Education program now.
