Immigration New Zealand is mandating compulsory accreditation for all New Zealand employers with migrant workers. The aim is to ensure temporary migrant workers are only recruited for genuine shortages whilst also endeavouring to ensure employers can still access the skills and labour they need.

Mandatory accreditation for employers essentially shifts the immigration process from being Employee led to being employer led. Immigration New Zealand will place significant emphasis onto employers to prove commitment to hiring and training New Zealanders, financial sustainability, compliance with employment law practices and sound HR and recruiting processes.

Employers who are already accredited must transition to meet new requirements to keep their current migrant staff.
