CARERS VICTORIA AGREEMENT 2015

Social, community, home care and disability services
COMMISSIONER CRIBB	MELBOURNE, 30 JANUARY 2017

Application for variation of the Carers Victoria Agreement 2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a variation to the Carers Victoria Agreement 2015 1 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.210 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Carers Association Victoria Inc T/A Carers Victoria (Carers Victoria). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] The application seeks approval to vary the wages clause - clause 14 of the Agreement - in relation to the December 2016 and December 2017 wage increases for employees to whom the Equal Remuneration Order applies. The variation limits the wage increases to the amount of supplementary funding received by Carers Victoria. In addition, the application seeks to incorporate into the Agreement an undertaking given to the Fair Work Commission at the time the Agreement was approved in 2015.

[3] The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (ASU), a party to the Agreement and bargaining representative, is not opposed to the application.

[4] On the basis of the material before me, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of sections 210 and 211 of the Act, as are relevant to this application for approval of a variation, have been met.

[5] The variation is approved and a consolidated version of the Agreement, as varied, is attached to this decision.

[6] In accordance with s.216 of the Act, the variation operates from 30 January 2017.
