Throughout the year a limited number of volunteering opportunities become available at the Chau Chak Wing Museum. To be considered, please complete an Expression of Interest Form outlining your previous experience and interests.
Suitable applicants will be invited to interview with a member of the team aligned with your interests and skills when an opportunity becomes available.
Successful candidates will be required to complete a volunteer contract and be offered full training and induction as part of their role.
A limited number of for-credit tertiary internship placements are available at the Chau Chak Wing Museum across a range of academic disciplines. Interns have previously contributed to exhibition and collection research, worked alongside the collection management team, assisted with the development of education programs and resources, and supported the archiving of historical documentation. These internships offer an opportunity to gain first-hand experience working in a museum environment.
Placements are unpaid and open to current students of the University of Sydney and other tertiary institutions. Students are able to respond to advertised internships via their Faculty Internship Officer or Unit of Study co-ordinator. To apply to an unadvertised internship, contact the relevant Museum staff member and your Faculty Internship Officer to discuss potential projects.
A limited number of industry internship placements are supported by the Chau Chak Wing Museum. Our Museum has previously accepted applicants from the Museum & Galleries NSW Placement Program, The Australian Network on Disability’s Stepping Into program and Diversity Arts Australia's Ripple: Disability and Culturally Diverse Internship Program.
These internships offer an opportunity to gain first hand experience working in a museum environment aligned with the outcomes of the industry partner supported placement program.
To apply for an industry partner internship follow the instructions provided by the program or advertised opportunity and contact the Museum staff member whom you would like to supervise your placement. If you are unsure please email ccwm.info@sydney.edu.au
Employment opportunities at the Chau Chak Wing Museum are advertised periodically for candidates with relevant industry experience. Current positions are listed on the University of Sydney Career Site.

Help us catalogue William J Woodhouse's historical photograph collection by joining this Flickr project. We're seeking keen volunteers to assist with identifying landscapes, monuments and sites of Greece photographed by former curator Woodhouse between 1890 and 1935. The complete archive contains more than 1800 images. For each one, we are asking contributors to describe the contents of the photograph, identify the location and contribute geocoordinates or comparable photos in the comments section of our Flickr pages.
