Application for approval of the Abbotsford Long Day Care Centre’s Enterprise Agreement 2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Abbotsford Long Day Care Centre’s Enterprise Agreement 2015 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Abbotsford Long Day Care Centre Inc. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[3] The Independent Education Union of Australia and United Voice being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers these organisations.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 10 August 2016 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 17 August 2016. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2018.
