Our Internship Programme
Applications for our next intake are currently closed, but keep an eye out for further opportunities to apply later this year.
To join our summer programme at the end of 2024, you’ll need to be in your second-to-last year of study.
At Audit New Zealand:
- we’ll give you exposure to real projects. You could be collaborating with clients providing essential infrastructure or health services to vulnerable New Zealanders – all while gaining valuable on-the-job experience;
- you’ll benefit from working in teams focused on collaboration and growth, and you’ll develop strong relationships with your peers;
- every intern is supported by an outstanding mentoring system; and
- spends a week gaining valuable experience at the Office of the Auditor-General, at the heart of Wellington’s parliamentary precinct.
At the end of the internship, you’ll get the chance to talk about your experience via a group presentation to our Executive Leadership Team. We’ll make graduate programme offers to the interns we think will thrive at Audit New Zealand.
If successful, you’ll go back to university to complete your studies, knowing that you've got a job to go to when you finish.
You'll start working for us as an Assistant Auditor in our Graduate Programme the following February.

Phone Interview: If you’re short-listed for a job, we'll call you and ask you some general questions so we can get to know you better. This phone call is booked in advance, at a time that suits you. |
Case study and final interview: If the phone interview goes well, we’ll invite you to attend a final interview and complete a case study in mid-April. |
