Application for approval of The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust Enterprise Agreement 2021

1. An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust Enterprise Agreement 2021 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

1. I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 are relevant to this application for approval and have been met.

1. The Australian Workers’ 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) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
