Accredited Employer Work Visa
If you want to hire migrants on an Accredited Employer Work Visa, you need to be accredited and complete a Job Check.
What an employer needs to do
Apply for employer accreditation
Check your business meets our rules to be accredited and make sure you have all the information and documents you need to apply.
Advertise the role
Before you can apply for a Job Check gather the information and documents about the job. Unless your role is exempt, you will need to advertise the job within 90 days of your Job Check application. You may also need to engage with Work and Income.
Apply for a Job Check
Once you have accreditation you must apply for a Job Check.
You need to include:
- a job description
- an employment agreement
- the results of any advertising you had to do.
Job Checks are valid for 6 months or until you no longer have accreditation.
Ask the migrant to apply
Once the Job Check is approved, you can ask the migrant to apply for their visa.
After your Job Check is approved
If their visa is approved the migrant can work in the job under the terms of their visa.
