COMMISSIONER SIMPSON BRISBANE, 8 APRIL 2013

Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Serco Australia Pty Ltd.

[1] This decision concerns an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the United Voice. The United Voice seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Serco Australia Pty Ltd who work at Southern Queensland Correctional Centre.

[2] The Employer has advised that it does not oppose the application.

[3] In the circumstances I have decided to determine the matter on the papers as I am satisfied it is not necessary to hold a hearing.

[4] I am satisfied that the requirements in ss 443(1)(a) and (b) have been met and that, accordingly, an order must be made. An order, PR535436, based on the draft provided by United Voice will issue at the same time as this decision.
