Israel Caregiver Salary 2026 — Official DoFE Notice Figures for Nepali Applicants

The exact monthly salary for the current Nepal-Israel G2G Auxiliary Worker program is NIS 6,443.65 (approximately NPR 348,000 at mid-2026 exchange rates), as stated in Nepal's Department of Foreign Employment official notice, Advertisement No. 01/82/83, published under the Nepal-Israel labour agreement. This is not an estimate or a news summary — it is the published figure from the government notice itself, covering 2,300 posts (60% reserved for women, 40% for men) for Auxiliary Workers in Israel's Long Term Care Facilities, including group homes in individual apartments.

This is a specific, official recruitment notice for a specific intake cycle. Program terms, salary, and quotas are set per advertisement and can change between cycles — always verify the current notice at ferms.dofe.gov.np or dofe.gov.np before applying, since a future intake may carry different terms than the one detailed in this article.

The official post title is Auxiliary Worker, employed in Long Term Care Facilities — including group homes located in individual apartments — for the care of persons of any age with severe physical and mental disabilities. This is an institutional/facility-based role, legally and practically different from private live-in home caregiving for an individual elderly person (sometimes called "Metapelet" work in Israel), which operates under separate arrangements. If you see older salary figures quoted online (commonly $1,200–$1,800 USD/month) without a clear source, they most likely describe that different, private arrangement — not this official G2G Auxiliary Worker post.

Per the official notice, the following are deducted from your monthly remuneration, in accordance with Israeli labour law: the premium for employer-provided health insurance, accommodation and food expenses, property tax/water/electricity charges, and income tax. Food is entirely borne by the worker. Accommodation is arranged by the employer according to Israel's foreign-worker regulations, but its cost is also borne by the worker — this is explicitly stated in the notice, not an estimate.

The notice does not publish the exact NIS amount or percentage for each deduction category — for that level of detail, your specific employment contract (issued after PIBA selection) is the authoritative document. What the notice does confirm clearly is that these five deduction categories exist and apply; treat any online claim of an exact take-home figure with caution unless it's from your own contract.

The employer deposits 12.5% of your monthly remuneration into a bank account opened in your name — a mandatory savings mechanism confirmed directly in the official notice. This deposited amount is paid out to you once you leave Israel immediately after your contract period ends. If you overstay illegally after the contract ends, a prescribed percentage is deducted from this fund, and if the illegal stay exceeds 6 months, the entire fund balance is confiscated. This structure exists specifically to ensure workers who complete their contract properly and depart on time receive this accumulated amount intact.

Separate from what happens to your salary in Israel, the official notice lists specific costs the worker personally bears during the Nepal-side application process — this is your real upfront budget, not your ongoing Israel salary:

The official notice sets specific, checkable eligibility requirements, several of which differ from generic 'Israel caregiver' guides you may see elsewhere: applicants must be Nepali citizens aged 25 to 45 years (not 21–45, a figure that appears in some older or unrelated program descriptions), with a minimum height of 1.5 meters and minimum weight of 45 kilograms.

On education: you need at least a Grade 10 pass plus a minimum 15 months of study in A.N.M. or C.M.A.-related subjects, OR a 10+2 (or equivalent) qualification plus at least 3 months of caregiving training from a training provider recognised by the Government of Nepal — which is exactly the kind of CTEVT-recognised course our Israel-track program provides.

Additional requirements: you must not have previously worked in Israel, and your father, mother, husband, wife, son, or daughter must not currently be residing or working in Israel. You must be physically and mentally healthy, free of tuberculosis, hepatitis, epilepsy, gonorrhea, or AIDS, capable of lifting heavy items as the role requires, not involved in any addiction, and hold a passport with at least 3 years of validity remaining at the time your visa process begins.

Unlike some Israel-caregiver guides that describe Hebrew as the main language requirement, the official notice requires proof of English proficiency specifically: a Cambridge Upskill English Test certificate (Cambridge University Press and Assessment), obtained through CIIN International Qualifications Pvt. Ltd. in Tripureshwor, Kathmandu — an institution designated for this purpose by Israel's Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA). The minimum bands required are Reading A2, Writing A1, Listening A2, and Speaking B1. Applications that don't meet this standard are rejected outright.

The official selection process runs through several distinct stages, and understanding them helps you know what to expect after you apply — this is not a first-come-first-served or purely merit-ranked system:
