COMMISSIONER MCKENNA	SYDNEY, 22 AUGUST 2014

Application for approval of the Macquarie University Academic Staff Enterprise Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Macquarie University Academic Staff Enterprise Agreement 2014 (“the Agreement”). The application has been made by Macquarie University (“the applicant”) pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (“the Act”). The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I raised a range of matters about aspects of the Agreement and the parties’ submissions concerning such matters addressed my concerns or potential concerns. I am otherwise 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, I also note, a replacement page 14 has been included due to an obvious typographical error in the scanned version of the Agreement.

[3] The National Tertiary Education Industry Union concurs with the undertakings and 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 30 June 2017.
