The group includes six children.
The rest are volunteer nurses who came to Vanuatu several years after the respective governments came to an agreement amid a nursing shortage.
Their contracts lapsed in July, but they are still waiting for the Vanuatu Government to repatriate them, after promises this would happen on several occasions last month.
Now, RNZ Pacific's correspondent in Vanuatu reports they have been told they will be flown home in November.
The group is struggling financially because they no longer have income to rely on.
