Application for approval of the Healthscope Queensland Clerical Services Employee Agreement 2012-2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Healthscope Queensland Clerical Services Employee Agreement 2012-2015 (“the Agreement”). The application has been made by Healthscope Limited (“the applicant”) pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (“the Act”). The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act relevant to this application for approval has been met. The applicant has provided written undertakings addressing miscellaneous matters. A copy of the undertakings is attached to this decision and marked “Annexure A”. I note that, under s.191 of the Act, the undertakings are taken to be terms of the Agreement. Further, as the Agreement does not contain a flexibility term, the model flexibility term is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[3] The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (“ASU”) concurs with the content of the undertakings. The ASU has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wishes to be covered by the Agreement. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from seven days after the issuing of this decision. The nominal expiry date is 1 November 2015.
