Application for approval of the Victorian Public Health Sector (General Dentists’) (Single Interest Employers) Enterprise Agreement 2024-2028
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Victorian Public Health Sector (General Dentists’) (Single Interest Employers) Enterprise Agreement 2024-2028 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by the Victorian Hospitals’ Industrial Association. The Agreement is a multi-enterprise agreement. I note that a Single Interest Employer Order was issued by Deputy President Wright on 24 November 2023.[1]
The Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Act 2022 (Cth) (Amending Act) made a number of changes to enterprise agreement approval processes in Part 2-4 of the Fair Work Act, that commenced operation on 6 June 2023.
Under transitional arrangements, amendments made by Part 14 of Schedule 1 to the Amending Act in relation to genuine agreement requirements for agreement approval applications apply where the notification time for the agreement was on or after 6 June 2023. The genuine agreement provisions in Part 2-4 of the Fair Work Act, as it was just before 6 June 2023, continue to apply in relation to agreement approval applications where the notification time for the agreement was before 6 June 2023. The notification time for the Agreement was before 6 June 2023. The Agreement was made after 6 June 2023.
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 is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 15 November 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 December 2027.
