Obligatory insurance policies

Au pairs in Switzerland:

The host family is obliged to organise a health and accident (both work-related and non work-related) policy for the Au pair.

Au pairs in other countries:

Au pairs living in Switzerland but wanting to work abroad must have a health insurance policy covering foreign countries. We strongly advise the Au pair to also purchase an accident insurance policy (both work-related and non work-related) as well as third party insurance.

Important: The abovementioned insurance policies need to be organised in Switzerland.
