Immigration New Zealand continues to implement changes to the
Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme. We have summarised
recent changes that have been announced along with changes that may
be implemented in the future.
New February 2024 Median Wage Rate
A new median wage rate of $31.61 per hour is likely to be
introduced by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) to
come into effect in February 2024 (as long as there aren't any
changes to policy). This will be based on the June 2023 median wage
rate of $31.61 per hour published by Stats NZ recently.
To help with planning for recruitment in 2024, we have set out a
table with the current and potential Feb 2024 median wage rates
along with annual salary rates (based on a 40-hour work week):
