I'd like to touch on some of the areas the committee paid particular attention to in our review of the Estimates. Our committee considered the Accredited Employer Work Visa, and from 4 July 2022 this visa is the main pathway for migrants on employer-assisted temporary work visas. All three stages of the new Accredited Employer Work Visa are now live, with applications open for employer accreditation, job checks, and work visas. There are three stages to this: employers have to be accredited; passing a job check; and then inviting a migrant worker to apply for the job. The Minister told the committee that the visa is an important step in moving away from an over reliance on cheap migrant labour. The Minister said this reliance has not been a good thing for the New Zealand economy or for migrant workers. The Minister told the committee that previous targets for processing migrant worker applications for the Accredited Employer Work Visa remained in place, and he explained that an additional 230 staff were hired to assist with visa processing and also a site opened in Christchurch to increase capacity. We heard that good progress was being made in processing job checks for the Accredited Employer Work Visa applications received so far.
