Application for approval of the GRV Employee Enterprise Agreement 2024-2028 Application for approval of the GRV Employee Enterprise Agreement 2024-2028

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the GRV Employee Enterprise Agreement 2024-2028 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (Act). It has been made by Greyhound Racing Control Board T/A Grehound Racing Victoria (Employer). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] There is a minor difference between the title of the Agreement and that which is specified on the Notice of Employee Representational Rights issued to employees. I am satisfied that this is a minor procedural or technical error and employees covered by the Agreement were not likely to have been disadvantaged by it. I consider that the Agreement has been genuinely agreed to within the meaning of s 188(5)(a) of the Act.

[3] I am satisfied that each requirement of ss 186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. For the purposes of the better off overall test, I have had regard to each of the matters in s 193A(2)-(7).

[4] The Community and Public Sector Union, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, supports the approval of the Agreement and 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.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s 54 of the Act will operate from 4 July 2025. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2028.
