[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the AMWU and the Onsite Machining & Pipeline Services Australia Collective Bargaining Workshop Agreement 2012 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) and was made by Onsite Machining & Pipeline Services Australia Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

As required by s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
