In this paper, Baldassar, Baldock and Wilding’s (2006) model of transnational caregiving is applied to two sets of recent immigrant families in Australia: Italian professional migrants and Afghan humanitarian refugees. While time of arrival impacts on transnational caregiving practices, recent immigrant families can differ significantly in their capacity, obligation and commitments to exchange care across distance.
