Exclusive opportunities for students
AusBiotech facilitates opportunities for students to gain a competitive edge and become involved with their local, national and international biotechnology industries, including through the Student Volunteer Programme during the annual AusBiotech and AusMedtech national conferences.
Student volunteers assist our event organisers at conferences, practice valuable communication skills, attend informative panel sessions, engage with senior leaders at networking events and gives them the chance to profile volunteer experience on their resume. EOI to apply for the Student Volunteer Programme will be announced by email closer to the date.
Last year, the programme provided 42 students across the country, including regional and remote areas, the opportunity to participate, learn, exchange and engage in the programme and provided them with a one-year membership to AusBiotech.
Sign up below to receive our event notifications to ensure you are notified when the EOI to particpate in the volunteer programme opens.
