COMMISSIONER CRIBB	MELBOURNE, 23 AUGUST 2016

Application for variation of the MU Student Union Limited Collective Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a variation to the MU Student Union Limited Collective Agreement 2013 1 (the Agreement). The application was made by Melbourne University Student Union Limited (MUSUL) pursuant to section 210 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act).

[2] The application seeks approval to vary clauses 21 and 36 of the Agreement. The variation to clause 21 of the Agreement provides for a 3% wage increase to be paid on or from the first pay period on or after 1 July 2016. The variation to clause 36 ensures that public holidays and the annual shutdown within the Student Union align with the University so that students can access student services when the University is open. A Statutory Declaration, dated 2 August 2016, was provided in support of the application.

[3] The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU), a bargaining representative for the Agreement covered by the Agreement, is not opposed to the application.

[4] On the basis of the material before me, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of sections 210 and 211 of the Act, as relevant to this application for approval, have been met.

[5] The variation is approved and a consolidated version of the Agreement, as varied, is attached to this decision.

[6] In accordance with section 216 of the Act, the variation operates from 23 August 2016.
