s.185 - Application for approval of a single-enterprise agreement
Application for approval of the Fosterville Enterprise Agreement 2025
[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Fosterville Enterprise Agreement 2025 (the Agreement). The application is made under section 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
[2] Subject to the undertakings, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of sections 186, 187, 188, 190, 193 and 193A relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in sections 186(3) and (3A), I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.
[3] The Australian Workers Union and the Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia being bargaining representatives for the Agreement have given notice under section 183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. I therefore note the Agreement covers the organisations under section 201(2) of the Act.
[4] The Agreement is approved today 5 November 2025. It will operate from 12 November 2025 as required by section 54 of the Act. The nominal expiry date is 30 June 2028.
