Q What is the minimum hourly wage for security guards in New Zealand from 1 April 2026?
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment sets the adult minimum wage at NZ$26.00 per hour from 1 April 2026 for security guard roles. Security guards receive time-and-a-half for the first three hours of overtime on any day and double time thereafter. Casual loading of 8% applies on top of the base rate for non-permanent shifts.
Q Do international applicants need a specific visa to work as security guards in New Zealand in 2026?
International applicants require a work visa under the Accredited Employer Work Visa scheme, which allows up to three years of employment with an approved New Zealand employer. The visa must list security guard duties and the employer must hold accreditation valid through 2026. Applicants from visa-waiver countries can apply from within New Zealand after arrival but must hold a job offer paying at least NZ$26.00 per hour.
Q What licence is mandatory to apply for security guard jobs in New Zealand?
A current Certificate of Approval issued by the New Zealand Police under the Private Security Personnel and Private Investigators Act is required before starting any security guard work. The certificate costs NZ$312.50 for three years and must be renewed by 2026 with a clean criminal record check. Employers cannot legally hire anyone without this licence displayed on the job site.
