Pursuant to section 38 of the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007, I hereby give notice of approval of the Immigration Advisers Competency Standards 2016, which will come into effect on 1 October 2016.

The Immigration Advisers Competency Standards 2015 are revoked from the date these standards come into force. For the avoidance of doubt, the Immigration Advisers Competency Standards 2015 are the standards in force until the 2016 standards come into force.

The Competency Standards can be viewed and downloaded free from the Immigration Advisers Authority (“Authority”) website

www.iaa.govt.nz

Hard copies can be obtained by contacting the Authority on telephone 0508 422 422 (New Zealand only) or (09) 925 3838.

Dated at Wellington this 6th day of September 2016.

CATHERINE ALBISTON, Registrar of Immigration Advisers.
