Application for approval of the Christian Community Ministries Schools Enterprise Agreement 2024
An application has been made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Christian Community Ministries Ltd for the approval of Christian Community Ministries Schools Enterprise Agreement 2024 (the Agreement). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement. The Independent Education Union of Australia (IEUA) was a bargaining representative for the Agreement. The Commission must approve the Agreement if satisfied that the requirements in ss. 186 and 187 are met.
The applicant informed the Commission that minor typographical errors were identified in the proposed Agreement that was distributed to employees for the purposes of the access period. At the time of lodging this application, the Applicant advised that corrections had been made and an amended version of the Agreement was filed correcting the errors. I am satisfied that the corrections should be made and that it is appropriate to do so pursuant to s.218A of the Act.
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.
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 and 187 are met.
The Independent Education Union of Australia, 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.
The Agreement was approved on 10 July 2024 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 17 July 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement at clause 1.5.2 is 31 December 2026.
