Kia Ora Daisy,

 

Thank you for your email of 10 September 2023 to the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment requesting, under the Official Information Act
1982, the following:

 

“May I please request for the updated list of accredited employers under
the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme? Thank you very much.”

 

Our Response

 

Please refer to the attached appendix for the list of accredited employers
accredited under the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme with AEWV
sector agreement for construction and infrastructure, as at 10 September
2023. More information on Accredited Employers is publicly available on
the Immigration New Zealand website at the following link:

 

[1]Check if an employer is accredited | Immigration New Zealand

 

Please note:

o Accredited Employers can choose not to have their accreditation
information on our website, therefore our website may not show all
accredited employers.
o Before a worker can apply for an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV),
employers must first be approved employer accreditation under the
Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) policy, advertise the role, and
then apply for and be approved a Job Check. Once these steps have been
successfully completed to Immigration New Zealand’s satisfaction, the
employer can invite the migrants to apply for the work visa. The
required experience and qualifications for the job employers offer
must match the approved Job Check.

 

More information on the AEWV process can be found here:

If you require further official information on the AEWV, please send us a
further request at the address below, and include confirmation that you
are eligible to receive this information under section 12 of the Official
Information Act 1982.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[3]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, please
