In the creative realm of internships, there's a notorious beast that needs taming - unpaid internships. In Australia, these are not just frowned upon - they're outright illegal. If an intern is carrying out tasks typically handled by a paid employee, they unquestionably should be remunerated for their work. It's not merely about ethics, it's law. For more on this, visit the Work experience & internships section on the Fair Work website.
