NAZARETH CARE, ANMF AND HWU ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2014

COMMISSIONER HAMPTON	ADELAIDE, 9 JUNE 2015

Application for approval of the Nazareth Care, ANMF and HWU Enterprise Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Nazareth Care, ANMF and HWU Enterprise Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Nazareth Care. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[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] I note that the employer inadvertently answered question 2.11 incorrectly in the F17 Employers Declaration. It is evident from the terms of the Agreement itself that it does exclude the National Employment Standards.

[4] The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation and the Health Services Union of Australia, being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that each wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the organisations.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 16 June 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 May 2018.
