COMMISSIONER ROE	MELBOURNE, 22 AUGUST 2016

Application for approval of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service Medical Officers Enterprise Agreement Western Australia 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Australian Red Cross Blood Service Medical Officers Enterprise Agreement Western Australia 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. 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 Salaried Medical Officers Federation, 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 22 August 2016 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 29 August 2016. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2016.
