Application for approval of the Australian Human Rights Commission Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Australian Human Rights Commission Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Commonwealth of Australia (represented by the Australian Human Rights Commission). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
The Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Act 2022 (Cth) (Amending Act) made a number of changes to enterprise agreement approval processes in Part 2-4 of the Fair Work Act, that commenced operation on 6 June 2023. The notification time for the Agreement under s.173(2) was 27 February 2023 and the Agreement was made on 15 March 2024. Accordingly, both the genuine agreement and the better off overall test requirements are those applying on and from 6 June 2023.
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.
The Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU), 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 is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 10 April 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 28 February 2027.
