DEPUTY PRESIDENT DEAN

CANBERRA, 26 MARCH 2024

Application for approval of the Safe Work Australia Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027.

  1. An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Safe Work Australia Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Safe Work Australia. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

  1. 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.

  1. CPSU, the Community and Public Sector Union, 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) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

  1. The Applicant has also made an application pursuant to s.218A to correct an obvious error in the Agreement that incorrectly referenced certain pay point levels at Schedule A. The Applicant seeks a variation by amending the pay point levels for the Government Lawyer Broadband APS6 classification from ‘4, 5, 6’ to ‘1, 2, 3’.  The CPSU did not object to the variation.

  1. I am satisfied that there is an obvious error and that it is appropriate to make the correction by varying the Agreement pursuant to s.218A of the Act. An amended version of the Agreement has been filed which incorporates the variation.

  1. The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 2 April 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 28 February 2027.
