[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute Enterprise Agreement 2014-2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Fair Work Act). The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[3] The Together Queensland, Industrial Union of Employees and the Queensland Nurses’ Union of Employees, who were bargaining representatives for the Agreement, gave notice under s.183 of the Fair Work Act they want the Agreement to cover them. Both are registered pursuant to the Queensland Industrial Relations Act 1999 and, I was advised, they are Transitionally Registered Associations pursuant to the Fair Work Act. Their Federal counterpart organisations, the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union and the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation have also given notice under s.183 of the Fair Work Act. As required by s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers those four organisations.
