Getting Accredited

• You can apply for a different level of accreditation depending on how many migrants you want to hire.

• Some business models will have to meet specific accreditation requirements.

• All employers will need to meet standard requirements, including showing you are a genuine, compliant business, and commit to activities to settle migrants and minimise exploitation.
