Keeping your Employer Accreditation valid

Letting your company’s accreditation expire may have negative impacts for your business and any work visa holders you currently employ. If your accreditation expires and you do not submit an application to renew it:

• You will be unable to support any new workers for AEWVs
• Any unused job tokens for your approved Job Checks will expire
• Any in-progress Job Check or Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) applications may be declined
• You cannot support your existing employees who hold an AEWV:
  • to extend the length of their current visa or;
  • to apply for another type of visa that requires you to be accredited, such as Work to Residence or Skilled Migrant Resident Visas

You also need to be aware of your obligations as an accredited employer, for instance with regard to the employer and employee modules, and ensure that you meet these obligations before your accreditation expires. Failure to do so can have an impact on your organisation's ability to renew your accreditation.

Immigration is currently taking 5 to 11 weeks to process Employer Accreditation applications.

If yours is due to expire soon, or you’d like to discuss your situation, please contact one of our team.
