DEPUTY PRESIDENT SAUNDERS

NEWCASTLE, 9 JUNE 2022

Application for approval of the Early Childhood Australia Enterprise Agreement 2022-2026

  1. An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Early Childhood Australia Enterprise Agreement 2022-2026 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to section 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

  1. The Employer has provided written undertakings (Undertakings). A copy of the Undertakings is 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.

  1. 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.

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

  1. 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.

  1. The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. Pursuant to subsection 185(3)(b) of the Act, in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

  1. The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with section 54 of the Act, will operate from 16 June 2022. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 8 June 2026.
