Internships
Ombudsman Tasmania offers an internship in first and second semester to penultimate or final year University of Tasmania law students who have completed Administrative Law. Students who have completed Law and Ethics of Health Care are also encouraged to apply.
The interns will be exposed to almost all facets of the Office’s functions but with a particular focus on assisting with factual and legal research. Previous interns have undertaken a range of tasks including:
- helping to assess complaints
- drafting correspondence
- preparing case summaries for our annual report
- helping to prepare custodial inspection guidelines
- accompanying investigation officers to meetings with public authorities and assisting with research
- doing research projects.
The internships are unpaid. Interns attend our office one day a week during the university semester. More flexible attendance arrangements can be made. While the internships do not provide students with direct credit towards their degrees, they offer a valuable learning opportunity and workplace experience.
We invite eligible law students to submit expressions of interest around the end of each year.
