Kia ora Elena W

 

Thank you for your email of 8 April 2025 to the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment requesting, under the Official Information Act
1982, the following:

 

Please provide a list of Immigration NZ approved Accredited Employers.

Please include:

- company name

- trading name

- NZBN

- accreditation expiry date

 

Our Response

  

Please refer to the attached appendix for the employers accredited under
the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme, as at 23 April 2025

 

We are refusing the part of your request related to the trading names and
accreditation expiry date under section 18(d) of the Act as information is
publicly available.

 

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 In order for an employer to employ a migrant worker under the AEWV
scheme, employers must first be granted, advertise the role for New
Zealand citizens or residents to apply, and then be granted a Job
Check. Once these steps have been successfully completed to
Immigration New Zealand’s satisfaction they can then invite migrants
to apply for work visas under the AEWV scheme. The required experience
and qualifications for the job employers offer must match the approved
Job Check
o  

More information on the AEWV process can be found
here: [2]www.immigration.govt.nz/employ-migrants/new-employer-accreditation-and-work-visa/steps-to-hiring-migrants-on-the-aewv

 

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
contact [4][email address]
