What could your career look like beyond university?

The Asia-Australia Youth Association (AAYA) Unimelb is bringing the Asia–Australia Careers Expo 2026 to the University of Melbourne this September.

Date: Friday, 18th September 2026
Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Venue: Market Hall (Building 189), University of Melbourne

The Careers Expo will bring together leading organisations and industry professionals for an afternoon of career exploration, networking and direct conversations with students.

Whether you’re looking for graduate opportunities, exploring potential career pathways, interested in working across Australia and the Asia-Pacific, or simply unsure where your degree might take you, the Expo is an opportunity to meet professionals, ask questions and discover possibilities beyond lectures and tutorials.

Alongside organisation booths, students will also have the opportunity to attend two (limited-capacity) industry panel discussions, featuring professionals sharing their career experiences, industry insights and practical advice.

And we’re not revealing everything just yet.

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be announcing our participating organisations, industry speakers, panel themes and more.

Keep an eye out on our Instagram @aaya_unimelb for more updates — the first reveals are coming soon.
