Application for approval of the Women’s Legal Service NSW Enterprise Agreement.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Women’s Legal Service NSW Enterprise Agreement (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to section 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[4] Pursuant to subsection 190(3) of the Act, I accept the Undertakings.

[5] Subject to the Undertakings, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of sections 186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[6] Pursuant to subsection 205(2) of the Act, the model consultation term prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[7] The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (NSW & ACT Services Branch) being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under section 183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with subsection 201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
