AUSTRALIAN MARITIME SAFETY AUTHORITY ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2024-2027

Application for approval of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has applied under s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for approval of an enterprise agreement, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027 (the Agreement).
I am satisfied that the requirements of ss 186, 187 and 188 have been met. In particular, I am satisfied that the Agreement passes the ‘better off overall test’. The Agreement provides numerous terms of employment that are more beneficial to employees than those in the relevant award, including substantially higher salaries and employer superannuation contributions, and enhanced entitlements to leave. These terms comfortably outweigh the few terms which, in certain respects, are less beneficial than those in the award. In my view each award covered employee and each reasonably foreseeable employee will be better off overall under the Agreement.
The Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) and the Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers (AIMPE) have given notice under s 183 that they want the Agreement to cover them. As required by s 201(2), I note that the Agreement covers the CPSU and the AIMPE.
The Agreement was approved on 11 July 2024.
