The Daily Aus · How are students affording uni placements? · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

I'm Elliot Lurie. matched

Zara, this is such a big story. matched

I remember, you know, not that long ago when I was at uni, my friends who were studying stuff like nursing, for example, would have these unpaid placements that would just go on forever. matched

And during that time, not only could they not work, they weren't getting any money from the placement either. matched

And then still having to do stuff like pay rent. matched

That's changed a bit in the time since I was at uni. matched

It wasn't that long ago, relax. matched

But we have some more updates now. matched

Do you want to maybe set the scene of where we were before today? matched

Yes. matched

I went to Channel 7 and I worked there unpaid for credits for a subject. matched

Yes, per week. matched

That doesn't sound like a lot of money for a week's work. matched

And that would be the pre-tax figure, right? matched

I would be curious to know how the government came up with that figure. matched

And I have to assume maybe it's because it's not considered actual work because it's more training than it is work. matched

And that's why it's so low. matched

It's not legal anymore now. matched

Yeah, because you can have unpaid internships and placements if it counts towards your degree. matched

We get people messaging us all the time asking, I'll come in and work for free just for the experience. matched
