Australia AU PAIR PROGRAM
Australia is famous for its natural beauty, incredible beaches, wildlife, and a laid-back attitude to life.
Australia au pair programs are designed to provide a unique cultural exchange experience. As an au pair, you’ll live with a host family, assist with childcare, and become part of the local community. In return, you receive free accommodation, meals, and a weekly stipend, making it an affordable and enriching way to discover the country.
The program also offers flexibility, so you can spend your weekends exploring iconic destinations like Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, or the Gold Coast—the possibilities are endless.

program reviews
Check out what program graduates have to say about living in Australia.
A solid experience of growth
“I loved how safe I felt knowing that I could always call Rome Abroad if something went south!
My host family was an outstanding host. They always accommodated my celiac disease whether it was going out to a restaurant or going to a friend’s BBQ — I always had options! They included me with all of their weekend plans and big trips.
I feel like it was a solid experience of growth and a test of patience, I wouldn’t change anything.”
— Kadi, Brisbane
Made living abroad feel easy and safe
“My favorite part was seeing Australia and getting paid for it!
My host family made me feel so much at home; they were so welcoming and kind and included me but also didn’t make me feel bad if I didn’t want to do what they were doing. I loved my host family so so much.
Rome Abroad made living in another country feel easy and safe!”
— Megan, Wooloowin
The opportunity to learn so much about yourself
“My host family was very sweet and accommodating. I lived in a beautiful area and I had the cutest kids ever.
It’s a great way to see the world and to have a home away from home with a stable job and home.
My favorite part was getting to see this side of the world and all the friends I’ve made along the way.”
— Taylor, Brisbane

You're OK to spend a bit more
The Australia program requires a bit more cash upfront with the visa cost and the average plane ticket.
Although you’re spending more upfront, you’ll soon earn back your investment.
You're ready to drive — on the other side!
Helping the kids get from place to place is very important for these host families.
