COMMISSIONER ROE MELBOURNE, 15 APRIL 2016

Application for approval of the Scotch Oakburn College (Teachers) Enterprise Agreement,

2015.

[1]        An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the

Scotch Oakburn College (Teachers) Enterprise Agreement, 2015 (the Agreement). The

application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made

by Scotch Oakburn College. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2]        I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to

this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the

employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and

(3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[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.
