Accredited Employer Work Visa median wage rate and exemption changes

Median Rate

On 27 February 2023, a new median wage rate of $29.66 per hour will be incorporated into policy.

Job Check applications for roles that are not exempt from meeting the median rate requirements and pay below $29.66 per hour (but above $27.76) should be submitted before 27 February 2023. Job Check applications that are not exempt from meeting the median rate requirements and pay below $29.66 will most likely be declined after 27 February 2023 (unless further policy changes are made that impact the median wage rate policy).
