Application for approval of the Nambour Community Preschool & Kindergarten Early Childhood Education Enterprise Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a single enterprise agreement known as the Nambour Community Preschool & Kindergarten Early Childhood Education Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Independent Education Union of Australia.

[2] On the basis of the material before me, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[3] As the consultation term does not meet the requirements of s.205 of the Act, the model consultation term is taken to be a term of the Agreement and is attached to the Agreement.

[4] The Independent Education Union of Australia, 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.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 1 May 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 December 2014.
