How does the selection process work in terms of the placement?

Here is a summary of the process:

• Applications are first reviewed by Perth Secretariat staff and then forwarded to the ACICIS Resident Director (RD).
• The ACICIS RD vets all students applications, and applicants are notified of the outcome one month after the application deadline.
• Applications are forwarded to nominated host organisations for consideration (based on sectoral interests, qualifications, and experience of applicants).
• Host organisations indicate preferences.
• The Academic Program Officers and the ACICIS RD will allocate placements in accordance with sectoral interests, qualifications and experience, and the knowledge of current host organisation programs.
• Placements are announced by the end of November.
• Placements cannot be altered at the request of applicants upon the announcement of all positions by ACICIS. Applicants who are dissatisfied with the placement may withdraw from the program with the usual penalties.
