DEPUTY PRESIDENT SMITH	MELBOURNE, 30 JANUARY 2015

Application for approval of The Lowitja Institute Collective Agreement 2014-2018.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a single-enterprise agreement known as The Lowitja Institute Collective Agreement 2014-2018 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by National Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research Limited (the Applicant).

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act, as are relevant to this application for approval, have been met.

[3] The National Tertiary Education Union, being the bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement does not contain a consultation clause that meets the requirements of s.205(2) of the Act. Therefore, the model consultation term prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the Agreement and attached to the Agreement.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 6 February 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2018.
