We’re excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2026 Internship Program, delivered in partnership between eHealth NSW and the Single Digital Patient Record Implementation Authority (SDPRIA).
Now in its eighth year, the program serves as a launchpad for aspiring digital health professionals, offering final year university students a unique opportunity to gain hands on experience, grow their professional networks, and contribute to digital innovations that enhance patient care across NSW.
What can our interns expect?
Starting in February 2026, successful applicants will join either eHealth NSW or SDPRIA for a 12 month paid internship. Interns will support the delivery of work across a variety of areas, from clinical engagement and communications to cybersecurity, cloud services, and digital infrastructure.
What’s it really like to be an intern?
Hear from 2024 interns, Georgie Calder, Business Analyst and Saihej Bhangu, Trainee Systems Officer, as they share how their internship journey has helped them grow professionally and personally.
From meeting customers to solving digital challenges that shape patient care, our interns are given the opportunity to innovate, solve problems, and see their work change lives.
Championing inclusive career pathways
We’re proud to offer targeted internship opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and people with disability, ensuring our workforce reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.
Andrew McAleenan, a 2024 intern and now Project Support Officer – Aboriginal Programs & Partnerships Team at SDPRIA, shares the vital role diversity plays in improving healthcare outcomes for underrepresented communities:
“I come from a family of proud Aboriginal people, including activists, teachers, and carers who have made and continue to make significant contributions to supporting our communities and future generations," says Andrew.
"As digital healthcare becomes increasingly common and Aboriginal staff remain underrepresented in IT roles, it’s a reminder that my voice is important in this space and I’m proud to contribute.” - Andrew McAleenan, Project Support Officer - Aboriginal Programs & Partnerships Team, Single Digital Patient Record Implementation Authority, and 2024 intern.
