DEPUTY PRESIDENT COLMAN	MELBOURNE, 18 DECEMBER 2020

Application for approval of an enterprise agreement

[1] NECA Education and Careers Ltd has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the NECA Education and Careers Ltd and ETU Enterprise Agreement (Apprentices) 2020 - 2024 (the Agreement) pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying declaration, I am satisfied that each of the relevant requirements of ss 186, 187 and 188 has been met. The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made however pursuant to s 185(3)(b) I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made. The Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s 183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s 201(2) and based on the declaration provided by the organisation, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[3] The Agreement was approved on 18 December 2020 and, in accordance with s 54, will operate from 25 December 2020. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 March 2024.
