[2] It is not clear on the materials when the Agreement was made pursuant to s.182(1) of the Act. As a result it is not clear whether the Agreement was not lodged within 14 days after it was made. To the extent necessary, pursuant to s.185(3)(b) of the Act I consider it fair to extend the time for making this application to the date that it was lodged with the Commission that being 12 January 2015.

[3] 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.

[4] The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation – South Australian Branch, 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) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
