Donate to support the next generation of First Nations professionals.
Students are found on campus, coached through interviews and matched to an employer who fits, all before an employer’s fee begins. That is the work giving pays for.
Gifts over $2 are tax-deductible.
CareerTrackers puts First Nations university students into paid, multi-year internships with some of Australia’s largest employers, and stays with them until they graduate into a career.
An employer pays a fee once they take an intern on, and pays the intern’s wages from there. Giving is what covers the rest: students found on campus, the coaching before an interview, a program manager in every state and the alumni network they graduate into.

Meet Isaac
Isaac Gebadi, a proud Ankamuthi man, finished his Bachelor of Biotechnology at the University of Queensland in 2025 — Honours at Melbourne comes next. The degree took resilience, and a community that showed up the whole way.
CareerTrackers gave me a community that believed in me before I fully believed in myself.

What your gift is building
An employer’s fee begins the day they take an intern on, and they pay the intern’s wages from there. Giving is what covers everything that has to happen around it.
The work before day one
Everything has already had to happen before an employer’s fee starts — students found on campus, coached through interviews, matched to an employer who actually fits. And for every student not matched this year, it happens again next year.
How a student gets in
Someone in the room the whole way
A program manager in every state, and the Leadership Development Institute every intern is expected at. Getting from 18 students in 2009 to where it is now meant building all of that, and it holds only as long as it is staffed.
Inside the LDI
Alumni become the mentors
1,671 alumni are now working across corporate Australia, and they come back — to Program Days, kick-offs, campus panels — for the students behind them. Each cohort makes the next one stronger.

Other ways to give
The form above covers most gifts. These three take a different route: CareerTrackers Legacy, your solicitor or your payroll team.
Give a larger gift
Gifts of $5,000 and above go through CareerTrackers Legacy, which has its own giving page. A larger gift is usually a conversation first, and the inbox is open for exactly that.
Leave a gift in your will
A gift in your will costs you nothing now, and your family is provided for first. It can be a share of what remains, a percentage of your estate or a fixed sum. Your solicitor drafts the wording when you’re ready.
Workplace giving
If your employer runs a workplace giving program, your gift comes out of your pay before tax. You get the deduction straight away and we get an amount we can plan against. Your payroll team can set it up.
Ways to help that cost nothing
Some of the most useful support has nothing to do with money.
Become an employment partner
For a company, taking on an intern is worth more to us than a cheque. 114 employers already do it.
Put your workplace forward to hire interns
If you think the place you work should be hiring First Nations interns, you can put them forward. It reaches the partnerships team, who take it from there.
Become a university partner and host us
Universities refer students, host us on campus and open their Indigenous centres to us. If you work at one, start here.
Share CareerTrackers with eligible students
If you know an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student at university, or one about to start, send them the student page. It covers who’s eligible, how the internships run and how to register.
