Application for variation of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027
An application has been made under s 218A of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) by the Commonwealth of Australia, as represented by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (applicant), to vary the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027(the Agreement) in order to correct obvious errors. The Commission has sought the views of the unions that are covered by the Agreement, the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) and the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientist and Managers Australia (APESMA). The CPSU confirmed to the Commission that it does not oppose the application. APESMA has expressed no view.
The variation would correct errors in Table A5 of Attachment A to the Agreement by deleting the ‘SPAO 1.2’ pay point and base pay rates, and by inserting in their place a SPAO 2 pay point and base pay rates. In light of the applicant’s explainations which are set out in its F1 document, I accept that the Agreement contains obvious errors and that it is appropriate to correct them by amending Table A5 of Attacment A. The corrected table is set out in the Annexure to this decision. The varation will operate from the date of this decision.
