Built on real experience.

Kokun (pronounced “cocoon”) exists to redefine care for a modern, mobile world - because everyone deserves a local who genuinely cares.

When people move far from home, they often leave behind their most important safety net: someone who understands the place, the systems, and the everyday moments that matter.

Kokun restores that connection through trusted local Companions, offering practical guidance, regular check-ins and calm, human support as people settle into life in Australia.

What People Are Saying

  • Moving to Australia as an au pair was exciting, but also overwhelming. There are so many unspoken expectations, cultural differences, and practical things you’re just meant to ‘work out’. Having Kokun would have made such a difference. The clarity around boundaries, communication, and what’s normal in an Australian household is exactly what au pairs need. It’s supportive without being overbearing - helping you feel confident, informed, and not alone. It would have saved me a lot of stress and second-guessing in my first few months.

  • Starting as an au pair in Australia comes with so many questions - about routines, expectations, communication, and even small everyday things. What I found most helpful about Kokun is how clearly everything is explained. The information is practical, realistic, and easy to come back to when you need it. It helps you understand not just what to do, but why - which makes settling in much easier and less stressful.

    Paula, Germany

  • As a parent, sending your child overseas is exciting - and nerve-racking. Knowing there was a clear framework, practical guidance, and someone thoughtful in the background made a real difference. Kokun gave us confidence that our daughter was settling in well and understood what was expected of her.

    Parent of an au pair

  • Hosting an au pair can be an amazing experience, but it’s also far more work and responsibility than people realise. We’d had a couple of difficult experiences in the past - blurred boundaries, and things you don’t think to explain, like the impact of the Australian sun or household expectations that feel ‘obvious’ but aren’t at all. It can be incredibly stressful trying to remember everything you need to cover while also building a relationship. What Kokun gave us was structure and support. Having clear guidance, practical tips, and a well-thought-through framework meant we weren’t constantly second-guessing ourselves. Simple things - like how to have an early conversation that included the au pair’s family - helped us understand who she was as a person and set expectations more calmly and respectfully from the start. The contract template made everything clear and outlined everyone’s responsibilities from the start.
