Application for variation of the Solstad Australia Pty Ltd and AIMPE (Marine Engineer) Offshore Oil and Gas Enterprise Agreement 2023

1. Solstad Australia Pty Ltd (the Applicant) has made an application to the Fair Work Commission (the FWC) under s.210 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (the Act) for a variation to the Solstad Australia Pty Ltd and AIMPE (Marine Engineer) Offshore Oil and Gas Enterprise Agreement 2023.

1. The proposed variation seeks to vary four separate clauses in the Agreement.  The details of the variation are attached to this decision as Annexure A.

1. The application for approval was lodged one day late due to an error in calculating the start point of the 14-day period for lodgment. I am satisfied that no employees have been disadvantaged by this and have used the power conferred by s.188(5) of the Act to overlook this minor technical error.

1. I am satisfied that the requirements of ss 210 and 211 of the Act as relevant to this application have been met.

1. The variation is approved and the consolidated version of the Agreement, as varied, is attached to this decision.

1. In accordance with s.216 of the Act, the variation shall operate from 22 July 2024.
