Application for approval of the State Trustees Limited Enterprise Agreement 2025.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the State Trustees Limited Enterprise Agreement 2025 (the Agreement) pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by State Trustees Ltd (the Applicant). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
The matter was allocated to my Chambers on 17 July 2025.
On 25 July 2025, the Employer was invited to address aspects of the Agreement including through the provision of an undertaking.
The Applicant has provided written undertakings, dated 30 July 2025, and a copy is attached in Annexure A. A copy of the undertaking has been provided to the bargaining representatives, and I have sought their views in accordance with s.190(4) of the Act. The bargaining representative that responded, supported the undertaking.
I am satisfied that the undertaking will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertaking will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement, thus appearing to meet the requirements of s.190(3). The undertaking is taken to be a term of the Agreement.
The “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) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers this organisation.
I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188, 190, 193 and 193A of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 7 days after the date of approval of the Agreement. The nominal expiry date is 31 March 2029.
