DEPUTY PRESIDENT SAUNDERS	NEWCASTLE, 18 OCTOBER 2019

Application for approval of the ACT Christian Schools General Staff Multi-Enterprise Agreement 2018 - 2021.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the ACT Christian Schools General Staff Multi-Enterprise Agreement 2018 - 2021 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to section 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). It has been made by Brindabella Christian Education Ltd, North Canberra Christian Education Association, and Trinity Christian School Incorporated. The Agreement is a multi-enterprise agreement.

[2] The Employers have provided written undertakings (Undertakings). Copies of the Undertakings are attached in Annexure A to this decision. I am satisfied that the effect of accepting the Undertakings is not likely to:

(a) cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement; or

(b) result in substantial changes to the Agreement.

[3] The views of each person who the Fair Work Commission knows is a bargaining representative for the Agreement have been sought in relation to the Undertakings.

[4] Pursuant to subsection 190(3) of the Act, I accept the Undertakings. The Undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[5] Subject to the Undertakings, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of sections 186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[6] The Independent Education Union of Australia being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under section 183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with subsection 201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[7] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with section 54 of the Act, will operate from 25 October 2019. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2021.
