Are there any for penultimate year students?

They're mostly for final year of undergrad as for economics related positions you pretty much have to do honours. Have a look into:

Federal treasury
State treasuries
RBA

RBA offers a fair few interships for honours students, in which they pay for you to do your honours.

Some big investment banks also pick up honour students.

Australian Bureau of Agricultural Reseach Economics (ABARE) - I think that's what it stands for...
My tutor worked there...
And Department of Ag Fisheries and Forestry takes people from a lot of degrees - they took me...the other ones that got in were Law, IT, Commerce, Ag Science, Ag Economics...
But you have to come to Canberra and it's not as related as RBA. You have to apply for the right section. There was an eco grad in R&D Policy, where I was put.
I don't think it is bad. It's not as glamorous as a bank or something, but it's good conditions and good experience if you want to go into govt.
