The new median wage of NZD $29.66 an hour will be adopted into the immigration system on 27 February 2023.

This will have an effect on various visa categories, including the Accredited Employer Visa (AEWV), occupations covered by sector agreements, and residence visa categories, such as the Green List and Highly Paid pathways, the Skilled Migrant Category, and the Parent Category.

Keep in mind that some roles are exempt from the AEWV median wage threshold, as some sectors have temporary agreements or exemptions that allow them to pay workers below the median wage in sectors such as the care workforce, construction and infrastructure, meat processing, seafood, and seasonal snow and adventure tourism sectors.
