From the DW website - Work Experience Dreamworld and WhiteWater World provide quality practical experience in a unique environment giving our local students a valuable insight into the leisure industry. If you’re a school student or studying with an educational institution, you can apply to undertake one week's work experience. Please note: Work experience is offered in off peak seasons and conditions apply. We do not offer work experience at Tiger Island.

Hopefully they offer a literacy program as well.

Literacy program's are not included within the Employment contract. However sound English skills are essential, unless you are applying for one of the roles that deal with the other languages of guests. Such as Japanese tour guides.

Such as Japanese tour guides.

Just ensure you learn in Japanese "Unless you have a Q4U, you can't go up this entry".

Yes... "the stairwell to the left of the Tower of Terror shop is reserved for Q4U riders and evacuations only. Please enter via the big sign that says Entrance"

I did work experience at Dreamworld in October 2007 and it was amazing. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the industry. I was 17 when I did the work experience. My NSW School offered work experience in Year 10 and I did an Entertainment course for Years 11 and 12 which required work experience. So I think any age from 15 or 16 upwards would be fine. I had to find my own way up there, but I didn’t enquire about any free transport options. I’m pretty sure they don’t take any work experience kids in the holidays as that would be peak season. If you have the chance to do work experience at Dreamword, do it. It’s an awesome week and was the most fun I have had at Dreamworld. I posted an overview of my week here http://www.parkz.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=3822
