AEWV support
Accredited Employer Work Visa support, end to end
The AEWV connects an accredited employer, a checked role and a worker’s application. We support employers and migrant workers across all three stages — including renewals and changes — and help keep the parts aligned.
The shape of it
For employers and for workers
The AEWV has an employer side and a worker side. They need to fit together.
Because we support both, we can help an employer with accreditation and the Job Check, help a worker with their application, or coordinate the whole process so the stages line up. Requirements can change and depend on circumstances, so an adviser will assess the relevant facts.
The three stages
How the AEWV comes together
Employer stage
The business becomes accredited to hire migrant workers on the AEWV.
Job Check stage
The specific role is checked, often including advertising considerations.
Worker application stage
The migrant worker applies for the checked role and provides their evidence.
Along the way
Changing employers, conditions and renewals
Changing employers
Moving to a new accredited employer can affect an AEWV and may require steps to be taken.
Changing conditions
Changes to the role, location or conditions may need to be addressed.
Renewals
Renewing an AEWV is best planned ahead, with timing and evidence considered early.
Who does what
Employer versus applicant responsibilities
The AEWV has two sides. This is a simple split of the typical responsibilities.

Questions
AEWV FAQ
Can a worker change employers on an AEWV?
It is often possible, but it can affect the visa and may require steps. We can explain what may be involved.
Can you support both the employer and the worker?
Yes. We can help one side or coordinate both, so the stages line up.
When should an AEWV renewal start?
Earlier is generally better, so timing and evidence can be considered before the visa expires.
Does the AEWV lead to residence?
For some people it can be a step toward residence. We can explain how it may connect — see our residence page.
Can you guarantee an AEWV will be granted?
No. Outcomes cannot be guaranteed and requirements can change. We focus on careful preparation across all stages.
