Your additional costs can be broken down as follows.

Visa

To participate in the Camp Leaders program you must obtain a J1 Cultural Exchange Visitor visa to the USA. The US government requires everyone who applies for a US visa to attend an interview at the US Embassy/Consulate (in Australia this means going to Melbourne, Sydney or Perth) prior to departure.

There are two additional fees to be paid directly to the US Embassy. These fees are $157.20AUD ($131US) for your Application Fee (MRV Fee) and $126.00AUD for the Issuance Fee, these are subject to change.

National Police Check.

All participants are required to produce a current National Police Check produced by the Australian Federal Police. This form is valid for 6 months and will cost $36AUD (paid to the Australian Federal Police). You can get further information about this from the website http://www.afp.gov.au/business/criminal_history_checks
