Built for safeguarding
The school sits in the middle. On purpose.
Students and organisations never message each other. Applications, questions and placement details all pass through the school counsellor, who sees the full picture and keeps a record.
Verified students
Schools verify every new student sign-up.
Limited information
Organisations see a suitability summary, not a student’s full profile.
A clear record
Messages between schools and organisations are kept against the application.

Frequently asked questions
Is ilearn4u free for students and parents?+
Yes — the Student Portal and Parent Portal are completely free, always. Schools pay a monthly subscription, and businesses/universities pay per opportunity listing, so students never see a cost to use the platform.
Can students message businesses or universities directly?+
No, by design. All coordination about a placement goes through the student's school counsellor — students apply through ilearn4u, and once an organisation responds, the school counsellor handles the next steps and any direct communication with the organisation.
How does ilearn4u match students to opportunities?+
A student's profile — age, location, career goals, interests, education level and preferred opportunity type — is matched against open listings from businesses, universities and training providers, so students see relevant internships, apprenticeships, traineeships and headstart programs rather than a generic job board.
What can a school do with the School Portal?+
Schools track every student's applications in one dashboard, see status updates the moment an organisation responds, and manage all school-to-organisation communication about placements, interviews, start dates and documentation from a single inbox.
How much does it cost businesses and universities to list an opportunity?+
$14.99 AUD per active opportunity slot — for example, 5 simultaneous active listings costs $74.95 AUD. There's no separate setup fee; you only pay for the listings you currently have live.
Is student data kept private and secure?+
Yes. Student profile data is only ever visible to the student themselves, their linked parent, and their own school. Businesses and universities only ever see what a student submits in a specific application to their own opportunity — never a full student profile — and every database table is protected by Row Level Security. See our Privacy Policy and Safeguarding page for details.
