Option A: Apply for a variation of conditions
If your employer has lost accreditation, you can apply to change your employer to:
- another accredited employer, or
- another employer who is not accredited but who meets the base salary conditions required at the time we issued your visa.
Option B: Apply for a variation of conditions
If you want to change to a different accredited employer, you can apply for a variation of conditions, provided the new employer meets all requirements under your visa.
Option C: Apply for a new work visa
Your new employer must be accredited and you must apply for a new work visa under a different category, like the Accredited Employer Work Visa.
