[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Armstrong World Industries (Australia) Pty Ltd (Thomastown Site) National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement).

Accordingly, in accordance with s.205(2), the model consultation term contained in Schedule 2.3 of the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the agreement and is appended at Appendix A.
