COMMISSIONER BOOTH	BRISBANE, 7 MAY 2014

Application for approval of the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association Enterprise Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a single enterprise agreement known as the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by The Presbyterian and Methodist Schools' Association.

[2] On the basis of the material before me, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[3] The Independent Education Union of Australia, 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.

[4] The consultation term in clause 1.10 in the Agreement does not comply with s.205 of the Act. Therefore pursuant to s.205(2) of the Act, the model consultation term prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the Agreement and is attached to the Agreement.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 14 May 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 March 2017.
