yeah pretty much.
And the bit I find really gutting is that this was a perfect opportunity for me. It was in geelong so I could have a social life again, it was pretty much a brilliant way to get my foot in the door and get an edge over other people in my class for after uni. AND I would have been working in the medical research labs being awesome in my lab coat.

Well tell them that you really want the job but can't afford for it to be unpaid.
They might be able to find some money. Even if it's totally unpaid they should pay you travel costs to and from your house.

I tried.
the guy said there was no money in his budget and that it was either unpaid or not at all.

Ah, fuck them then.
If they're like that at the beginning they'll treat you like shit the whole time you work there, get something else.
