AVISTA STEM Career Events

The AVISTA Program is bringing a series of exciting, in-person Career Events to Brisbane, Newcastle and Perth in Term 1 of 2026, plus an interactive online session.

These free events provide a unique opportunity for secondary students to connect with their local aerospace and defence industries and discover the STEM career pathways available to them.

// CAREER SHOWCASE EXCURSION

AVISTA Career Showcases

Our Career Showcases are designed for secondary students and their teachers, offering hands-on activities and direct conversations with industry professionals. Students will explore diverse career pathways and learn about the skills and education options available in Brisbane and Newcastle.

We encourage participation by students across all subject areas and career interests, not just those studying STEM. Students from humanities, business, trades, and creative disciplines will discover relevant career pathways in project management, communications, logistics, human resources, and many other fields within these growing industries.

These events are being presented with support from Aviation Australia and the Space Industry Association of Australia.

Places are limited and will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. Make sure to register your interest below to secure your place.
