Host Family Process
Overview of Host Family Process
Apex Professional Exchange’s staff guides families through the application and matching process, giving them the advice and guidance they need to search, interview and match with the right support worker. Once a host family has selected their support worker, Apex Professional Exchange manages arrival logistics including visas, flights and insurance. Apex Professional Exchange also provides the host family with ongoing local support once the support worker arrives in Australia.
Five Steps to Securing High Quality Live-In Care:
STEP 1: Start Your Application
Share information about your family and what special skills and experience you are looking for in a support worker. For some helpful tips for what information to include in your application, visit the Start Your Application page.
STEP 2: Identify Support Workers You Like
Apex Professional Exchange’s curated database of highly qualified professionals is large enough to offer choice but small enough for our staff to be personally acquainted with each candidate. Contact your favourite candidates or ask Apex Professional Exchange to provide an expert recommendation.
STEP 3: Conduct Interviews and Make a Match
Participate in a one-on-one interview with your favourite candidates to learn more about their backgrounds, training and specialisation. Apex Professional Exchange guides you through the interview process to ensure your time will be productive and informative.
STEP 4: Apex Professional Exchange Manages Pre-Arrival Details
Once you’ve matched with a support worker, Apex Professional Exchange handles all the arrival logistics – often in as little as five weeks. This includes visas, flights, medical insurance and more!
STEP 5: Welcome Your Support Worker
Welcome your support worker secure in the knowledge that you’ve made a great choice and that a mature professional with the right experience will care for your children.
