1) Conditions of use of the CareerHub Job Board
CareerHub is an online facility used to advertise job vacancies, internships and work experience opportunities to current students of the University of Notre Dame Australia (Notre Dame) and alumni. Employers are welcome to advertise positions on this site as long as they comply with current State and Federal Australian legislation relating to employment, internships and work experience.
CareerHub b is a self-service system where employers can register and upload their own vacancies. Employers wanting to use this service must supply all information requested and satisfactorily complete the online registration before their application to register will be considered by the Careers Office at the University of Notre Dame Australia. Failure to do so may result in the job or organisation not being approved.
The Careers Office is open from 8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday except public holidays and the Christmas shut down period. Once employers have submitted a job to be registered on CareerHub, Notre Dame will endeavour to either approve or decline the application within two working days.
Notre Dame reserves the right to approve, change or decline opportunities or registrations that are submitted to CareerHub for approval.

2) Voluntary Work
According to Volunteers Australia, ‘Formal volunteering is an activity which takes place through not-for-profit organisations or projects and is undertaken:
- to be of benefit to the community and the volunteer;
- of the volunteer’s own free will and without coercion;
- for no financial payment; and
- in designated volunteer positions only’.
In addition, volunteering should not involve any payments to be made by the student or graduate to the organisation. University of Notre Dame will only authorise volunteering opportunities that meet these definitions.
Volunteer opportunities for Western Australia can also be directed to our Notre Dame Volunteer Network (NDVN), Fremantle campus at Student Services. Please contact Student Services on (08) 9433 0580 or email: fremantle.ndvn@nd.edu.au
3) Internships or Work Experience Opportunities
Internships and Work Experience opportunities can only be advertised on CareerHub if they comply with the Fair Work Act 2009. The Fair Work Ombudsman provides guidelines to help you comply with current legislation and you should review these guidelines before you submit an opportunity to CareerHub.

The Careers Office at Notre Dame reserves the right to refuse any opportunities that they consider contravene the principles and intent of the Fair Work Act regarding internships and work experience.
4) Vocational Learning Programs
The Fair Work Act recognises formal work experience arrangements that are a mandatory part of an education or training course. If you wish to develop a vocational placement in your organisation we would suggest that you contact the Careers Officer at the University via fremantle.careers@nd.edu.au or (08) 9433 0582 for our WA campus and sydney.careers@nd.edu.au for our NSW campus to help connect you with the appropriate School.
