Visa information
Au Pairs from New Zealand don’t need a visa for Australia. Since 1973, the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement has allowed Australian and New Zealand citizens to live and work in each other's country without restrictions. On arrival in Australia, most New Zealanders are automatically granted a Special Category Visa (SCV), subject to meeting health and character requirements. This visa allows the holder to remain and work in Australia indefinitely. For more information please visit www.immi.gov.au
