COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS	PERTH, 13 JULY 2016

Application for termination of the CCM Group Australia Enterprise Agreement 2013.

[1] On 8 July 2016 SRG Services (Western) Pty Ltd T/A SRG previously named CCM Group Australia Pty Ltd (the Employer) filed an application pursuant to s.222 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act)to terminate the CCM Group Australia Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement).

[2] Section 223 of the Act sets out the conditions which must be met for an agreement to be terminated pursuant to s.222 of the Act:

“223 When the FWC must approve a termination of an enterprise agreement

If an application for the approval of a termination of an enterprise agreement is made under section 222, the FWC must approve the termination if:

(a) the FWC is satisfied that each employer covered by the agreement complied with subsection 220(2) (which deals with giving employees a reasonable opportunity to decide etc.) in relation to the agreement; and

(b) the FWC is satisfied that the termination was agreed to in accordance with whichever of subsection 221(1) or (2) applies (those subsections deal with agreement to the termination of different kinds of enterprise agreements by employee vote); and

(c) the FWC is satisfied that there are no other reasonable grounds for believing that the employees have not agreed to the termination; and

(d) the FWC considers that it is appropriate to approve the termination taking into account the views of the employee organisation or employee organisations (if any) covered by the agreement.”

[3] Based on the material that is before me, including the Statutory Declarations sworn by Mr Stephen Godden, Mr Keith Wood-Gush, Mr Stephen Hancock and Ms Jasmin Livsey of the Employer, I am satisfied that the requirements of s.223 of the Act have been met.

[4] In accordance with s.224 of the Act, the termination will come into effect on the date of this decision.
