Job Checks
AEWV Job Check application support
The Job Check confirms that a specific role can be filled by a migrant worker. We help accredited employers prepare the role, address advertising considerations and organise supporting information.
The framework
Where Job Checks sit in the AEWV process
The Job Check is the middle stage of the AEWV — after accreditation, before the worker applies.
1
Employer accreditation
The business is accredited to hire on the AEWV.
2
Job Check
The specific role is checked for the AEWV.
3
Worker application
The migrant worker applies for the checked role.
A Job Check usually follows accreditation. Review employer accreditation assistance →
What's involved
Role and employment information
The Job Check focuses on the specifics of the role. These are the kinds of details that matter.
- A clear job title and description
- Employment terms and pay
- Location and hours of work
- How the role meets relevant requirements
- Consistency with the employment agreement
Advertising
Recruitment and advertising considerations
For many roles, advertising is part of the Job Check. The specifics — including where, how and for how long — can change and depend on the role. We help you understand what may apply and keep clear records of your recruitment.
Recruitment and advertising records can matter later. It is worth keeping them organised from the outset.
Evidence
Supporting documentation
We help you organise the information that supports the Job Check.
- The employment agreement for the role
- Recruitment and advertising records, where applicable
- Details of the role and how it meets requirements
- Business and accreditation information
- Any other information relevant to the specific role
