DEPUTY PRESIDENT BELL

MELBOURNE, 18 JULY 2024

Application for approval of the Campari Australia Pty Ltd - Product Supply Chain Enterprise Agreement 2024.

  1. An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Campari Australia Pty Ltd - Product Supply Chain Enterprise Agreement 2024 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the employer Campari Australia Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

  1. The notification time for the Agreement under s.173(2) was 27 September 2023 and the Agreement was made on 28 June 2024. Accordingly, both the genuine agreement and the better off overall test requirements are those applying on and from 6 June 2023.[1]

  1. Having regard to the material contained in the application and filed in relation to it, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188, 193 and 193A 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 sections 186(3) and (3A), I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

  1. The United Workers’ Union (UWU), 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.

  1. The Agreement was approved on 18 July 2024 and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 25 July 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 April 2027.
