The New Zealand median wage will be increasing to NZ$36.61 per hour from February 2024 (currently NZ$29.66 per hour).
This is going to impact a number of visas which have wage thresholds based on the median wage, including the Accredited Employer Work Visa, Skilled Migrant Category Visa, and some occupations in the Green List or in Sector Agreements.
Parent Category wage thresholds will be updated separately, and the Tourism and Hospitality Sector wage threshold won’t be updated until April 2024.
You can read the announcement on the INZ website.
