UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2024

| DEPUTY PRESIDENT COLMAN | MELBOURNE, 3 APRIL 2024 |
Application for approval of the University of Melbourne Enterprise Agreement 2024
The University of Melbourne has applied under s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) for approval of an enterprise agreement, the University of Melbourne Enterprise Agreement 2024 (the Agreement).
I am satisfied that the requirements of ss 186, 187 and 188 have been met. In particular, I am satisfied that the Agreement passes the ‘better off overall test’. The Agreement provides numerous terms of employment that are more beneficial to employees than those in the relevant award, including substantially higher salaries and enhanced entitlements to leave. These terms comfortably outweigh the terms which, in certain respects, are less beneficial than those in the award. In my view each award covered employee and each reasonably foreseeable employee will be better off overall under the Agreement.
The National Tertiary Education Industry Union (NTEU) and the United Workers’ Union (UWU) have given notice under s 183 that they want the Agreement to cover them. As required by s 201(2), I note that the Agreement covers the NTEU and the UWU.
The Agreement was approved on 3 April 2024.
