DEPUTY PRESIDENT HAMILTON	MELBOURNE, 4 FEBRUARY 2015

Application for approval of the Latrobe Regional Hospital (Biomedical Engineers) Enterprise Agreement 2014 - 2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Latrobe Regional Hospital (Biomedical Engineers) Enterprise Agreement 2014-2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by the Victorian Hospitals’ Industrial Association for the Latrobe Regional Hospital. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] 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.

[3] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 11 February 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2017.

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

[5] The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia (APESMA), also known as Professionals 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.
