DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009
s.252 - Application to extend single interest employer authorisation

Lutheran Schools Association of SA, NT & WA Inc
(B2015/1361)

SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT O'CALLAGHAN ADELAIDE, 28 SEPTEMBER 2015

Application to extend single interest employer authorisation in B2014/1468.

[1] On 27 October 2014 the Fair Work Commission (the Commission) issued a single interest authorisation (the Authorisation) [PR557103] pursuant to s.249(4) of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Authorisation was due to cease operation on 26 October 2015.

[2] The Lutheran Schools Association of SA, NT & WA Inc (LSA) is a bargaining representative for the proposed enterprise agreement.

[3] Pursuant to s.252 of the Act the LSA has applied to extend the period of operation of the Authorisation. The application advises that an ‘in principle’ agreement has been reached and is currently the subject of employee voting consideration.

[4] I am satisfied that there are reasonable prospects that an agreement will be made if the Authorisation operates for a longer period and consider it appropriate in all the circumstances to extend the period.

[5] An order extending the Authorisation will be issued with this decision.
