Agencies handling visa, placement, and arrival support typically charge AUD 200–6,000, depending on the package and whether they include travel, screening, and pre-arrival logistics. Families who find their au pair privately usually only pay for visa paperwork and background checks.
Legal minimum-wage model: 20 h/week × AUD 24/hour = AUD 2,078/month gross; minus a maximum board/meal deduction of ~AUD 1,760 → net pocket money ≈ AUD 320/month.
Typical au-pair program practice: most host families provide board and lodging and pay AUD 80–150/week, giving ≈ AUD 350–650/month in cash pocket money.

At Nina.care, we take great care in selecting au pair candidates who truly fit your family. Our au pairs go through:
✨ A full interview to assess motivation and experience.
✨ English language test
✨ Medical and criminal record checks.
✨ Reference checks from previous host families.
We also save videos from au pair interviews, which you can watch in the au pair’s profile — giving you a clear impression of the candidate before even speaking with them.
