Work Experience (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know how to get work experience with Taronga zoo or any similar places? I really wanted to go for Taronga zoo but it seems they're fully booked for the whole year. Should I wait until next year? Does anyone know other places which also get you hand-on experience with animals because I need minimum 5 days. Thanksssss <3

If you have careers advisors, I'd recommend talking to them - for example I know that at the school I attend, taronga zoo offers one spot for a 5 day work experience to a person in Year 10 every year. Otherwise you could try the new zoo in Western Sydney, a vet's clinic, etc.

Also I was just looking at the taronga zoo website and it says they have a handful of spots in terms 3 and 4? There's a form where you can apply on this page https://taronga.org.au/get-involved/school-work-experience/sydney if you scroll down a bit.

Good luck!

I don't think their parents own a zoo

not a zoo, but animals - why not look at a vet?

yk what I think I'm just going to spend yr11 volunteering at my local hospital and in yr12 the vet or Taronga zoo whichever one is in my fate.

Oh my god what hospital r u volunteering at, all nearby hospitals rejected me bc I have no degree which is understandable

My mum works there so that’s probably why I got accepted but like it’s easier in Sydney I have a few friends who’ve just called hospitals and they got an opportunity as well

Congrats it’s gonna be a rlly good experience
When I called every hospital in the Illawarra the person on the phone laughed saying they barely have time to train their interns let alone have a high school volunteer roaming Arnd

Stop I actually feel so bad, it’s ok though you’ll be a great doctor one day ~
