DEPUTY PRESIDENT HAMILTON	MELBOURNE, 27 JUNE 2013

Application for approval of the Ballarat Community Health Mental Health Service Enterprise Agreement 2012-2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Ballarat Community Health Mental Health Service Enterprise Agreement 2012-2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Ballarat Community Health. 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.

[3] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 4 July 2013. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 March 2016.

[5] The Australian Nursing Federation and the Health Services 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 them. In accordance with s.201(2), I note that the Agreement covers the organisations.
