Application for approval of the ACT Public Sector Education Directorate (Teaching Staff) Enterprise Agreement 2018-2022.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the ACT Public Sector Education Directorate (Teaching Staff) Enterprise Agreement 2018-2022 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Australian Capital Territory T/A Education Directorate. 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 Australian Education Union, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 15 August 2019 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 22 August 2019. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 September 2022.
