What is a Demi-Pair?

A Demi-Pair is a full-time student and part-time Au-Pair with Permission to Work Visa.
Studying at Discover English and working part-time as a Demi-Pair, you will have a genuine immersion in Australian culture. It will help to improve your English, and you will have the support and company of the family hosting you. You might enter in a lifelong bonding relationship with your hosting family. You will receive free accommodation and meals in exchange for 15 hours per week work (usually 50% housework and 50% childcare).

Do I qualify?

Formally there is no qualification requirement.  A Working with children check is required and can only be obtained personally in Australia.

Some families will have a preference for someone who has already had prior experience with children, other families might not require prior experience, as long as they see your profile as a good match for their families.

You should be able to communicate with the family, be able to make a phone call to the parents if required, and of course, understand what the children are saying. We believe you need at least an intermediate English level.

Your Family will provide:

Accommodation in a private room
3 meals a day
Free time on weekends
