If you are a student journalist

Wherever possible, AWLQ likes to assist journalism students with their enquiries and interview requests. Please note that our ability to take part depends on the capacity of our small team.

We invite you to email all student enquiries directly to our Communications & PR Manager at communications@awlqld.com.au. Please include as much detail as possible, including the specific interview questions and deadline. Student requests generally take 10 working days to turn around.

We will do our best to help with student enquiries however please be aware that, as a charity, we can’t guarantee to help you in time for your deadline.
