DEPUTY PRESIDENT COLMAN	MELBOURNE, 22 MARCH 2024

Australian National Audit Office Enterprise Agreement 2024 – 2027

1. An application has been made under s 218A of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) by the Commonwealth of Australia, as represented by the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO), to vary the Australian National Audit Office Enterprise Agreement 2024 – 2027 (Agreement) in order to correct obvious error. The union that is covered by the Agreement, the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU), supports the application. The proposed variations would address what are said to be several typographical errors as well as formatting irregularity in the Agreement by effectuating the following changes: the title of section 1 would be replaced with the words ‘Technical matters’; clause 92.1 would be amended to replace ‘clause 191’ with ‘clause 190’; clause 99 would be amended to remove the words ‘However, and employee’ and replace them with the words ‘However, an employee’; and the formatting and layout of the Agreement would be adjusted to properly reflect the applicable style guide, in accordance with a revised document submitted to the Commission by the ANAO.

1. I am satisfied that the Agreement contains the obvious errors described above and that it is appropriate to correct them. The Agreement is varied in the manner proposed by the applicant. The variations will operate from the date on which the Agreement will commence operation, which is 29 March 2024.
