Application for approval of the Autism Queensland Employee Agreement 2024-2027
Autism Queensland Limited has applied for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Autism Queensland Employee Agreement 2024-2027 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) and is a single enterprise agreement.
The Employer has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement. The undertakings are taken to be a term of the agreement.
Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union and Independent Education Union of Australia being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover each of them. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisations.
I observe that the following provisions are likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES):
· 28.10, 29.11, 29.12.
However, noting clause 6 of the Agreement, I am satisfied the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 7 January 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 December 2027.
