WA3.1 Overview

Employers who are accredited may make a Job Check application.

1. If a job is approved as part of a Job Check application, it will be associated to the employer. Employers with Standard Accreditation can have a maximum of 5 jobs associated to them at any one time. There is no maximum number of jobs that can be associated to employers holding High Volume Accreditation.
2. If a job is approved as part of a Job Check application, a non-New Zealand citizen or resident visa holder can apply for an Accredited Employer work visa. The details of the job offered to the worker must be the same as the job approved in the Job Check application.
3. Despite E7.7, where these instructions refer to the ANZSCO, any assessment must be based on the Immigration view of version 1.3 of the ANZSCO provided by Statistics New Zealand in their Aria classification management system.

   Note: The Immigration view of version 1.3 of the ANZSCO provided by Statistics New Zealand is available here:

WA3.1.5 Automated processing and approval

1. An automated electronic system may determine whether an employer meets one or more of the requirements for a Job Check under these instructions.
2. An automated electronic system may approve a Job Check for an employer who meets the requirements under these instructions.
3. Where a decision is made by way of an automated electronic system that decision must for all purposes be treated as a decision of an immigration officer who is authorised to make the decision under the Immigration Act 2009.
