Do you employ international staff for your practice? You need to become an Accredited Employer
Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)
From 4 July 2022, Immigration New Zealand will be introducing the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).
The new AEWV will replace 6 work visas:
• Essential Skills Work Visa (remains open until AEWV introduced)
• Essential Skills Work Visa — approved in principle (remains open until AEWV introduced)
• Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa (closed 31 October 2021)
• Long Term Skill Shortage List Work Visa (closed 31 October 2021)
• Silver Fern Job Search Visa (closed 7 October 2019)
• Silver Fern Practical Experience Visa (closed 31 October 2021).
There will be some visas that will remain unaffected by the new visa system such as the Specific Purpose Work Visa and Skilled Migrant Residence Visa amongst others.
Why is this important for you?
The new AEWV will require any health provider that employs General Practitioners or any other staff from overseas to become an accredited employer.
What you need to do
You will need to apply for accreditation to ensure you are eligible to employ international General Practitioners or any staff to work in your practice.
Applications for accreditation open with Immigration New Zealand on 23 May 2022.
