Services
All our packages include a personal assessment of the family and Au Pair, and extensive search of our database to find the perfect match, personalised contracts and ongoing support throughout the duration of the contract. We are currently working on a 8 week lead time unless you purchase the fast track service in addition to your package. We accept payment by credit card on our family fee page only. All our fee's include a $400 non refundable administration fee on the package you have chosen. Once the agency has commenced working on your placement you can not request a full refund - you will only be entitled to your fee minus the $400 admin fee. The admin fee also applies to host families that cancel before the 8 week lead time. Please do not purchase a package if you think your situation might change and you are not willing to accept this admin fee. We cannot currently garrantee fast track services at present - If we can not deliver this service we will revert to our standard working times. Your placement fee can be used up to 12 months from date of payment. Refunds are processed at the end of the month.
A replacement Au Pair will be arranged in the event your match is not suitable. We endeavour to make sure that both the host family and Au Pair is satisfied with their match.
Each state requires that a person working with children must have a working with children check (WWC) and this is something you and your Au Pair must apply for online or in person at the post office before she/ he starts. Blossom Au Pair Australia can assist you in applying for the correct WWC.
A letter from your family to potential candidates is required at payment stage (or shortly after). This letter is an introduction to your family and is vital for our recruitment process. This is the best way to showcase your family and tell potential Au Pair's why they should join your family. We can not commence shortlisting until this letter is received. If you need assistance with writing this letter please contact us via email for a template.
**Regional Families**
Please note that a $250 travel allowance is to be reimbursed to your Au Pair on arrival. In the event that the Au Pair does not stay the contracted length of time families can reserve the right to garnish the weekly salary to make up for the allowance. If the Au Pair terminates the contract within the first two weeks the entire amount must be returned to the family.
