WA3.40 Processing and verification requirements

1. If there is information that indicates an employer may no longer meet the requirements of their accreditation, an immigration officer may postpone making a decision on the Job Check application until the employer is determined to meet the requirements, or until the employer’s accreditation is revoked (WA2.55).
2. If the employer’s accreditation is suspended, an immigration officer may postpone making a decision on the Job Check application until the suspension ends.
3. If the employer’s accreditation expires or is revoked, an immigration officer may decline the Job Check application.
4. Information that is provided as part of an application for a Job Check must be genuine, accurate and true. An immigration officer may decline an application for a Job Check if they are satisfied that an employer:
   1. provided false or misleading information in support of the Job Check application; or
   2. withheld relevant information that was prejudicial to approval of the Job Check application.
5. An immigration officer may, where necessary:
   1. take steps necessary to verify information that is provided as part of an application for a Job Check is genuine, accurate and true; and
   2. request evidence, including additional information not specified in these instructions, from employers, migrant employees and other parties, such as other parts of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and other government agencies, to determine whether an employer meets the requirements for a Job Check.
