Application for approval of the Nanyima Aged Care Nurses Enterprise Agreement 2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Nanyima Aged Care Nurses Enterprise Agreement 2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Miles Witt Partnership T/A Armest Pty Ltd. 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. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[3] The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation and the Queensland Nurses and Midwives Union being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisations.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 21 November 2017 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 28 November 2017. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2020.
