Application for approval of the University of Tasmania Staff Agreement 2013 - 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a single-enterprise agreement known as the University of Tasmania Staff Agreement 2013 - 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made by the University of Tasmania pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act).

I am satisfied that the undertaking will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertaking will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement.
