What does it cost?
We have flexible pricing options to help make becoming an au
pair in New Zealand as easy as possible for you. You can
choose to have us book your flights and insurance for you, or book
them with your preferred provider. You can find a list of
programme fees based on our key international departure ports on
our Flights,
Visas and Insurance page.
If you'd prefer to book your own flights and insurance, then our
programme fee becomes a one-off, non-refundable payment of $899
NZD, which covers the screening and matching process, and on-going
support during your placement term.
