- Updated information for accredited employers hiring
workers on the Accredited Employer Work Visa
Overview
On 7 April 2022, the government of New Zealand
released
amendments for employer accreditation in
preparation for the opening of the Accredited Employer Work Visa
(AEWV) on 4 July 2022. To hire a migrant worker on an AEWV, an
employer must be accredited by the New Zealand
government.
Under these amendments, employers will be required to
provide work-related settlement information within one month of the
employee's start date, including providing relevant industry
training, access to healthcare services, support for the
employee's cost of living and
more.
