Legal compliance for AEWV accreditation

Your employer requirements

From 7 April 2024, accredited employers must tell us if a migrant worker with an AEWV has stopped working for them.

Check the following dates that applies to your situation and if you need to contact us.

If your accreditation was approved, renewed, or upgraded on or after 7 April 2024

You must tell us within 10 working days if a migrant worker with an AEWV has stopped working for you. If you do not tell us that a migrant with an AEWV has stopped working for you, you will not be meeting your requirements. We may decide to suspend or revoke your accreditation.

If the migrant worker has less than 1 month remaining on their AEWV you do not need to tell us that they have stopped working for you.

If your current accreditation was approved or renewed before 7 April 2024

You can let us know but it is not a requirement. You will need to meet this requirement in the future if you apply for, renew or upgrade your accreditation.
