s.185 - Enterprise agreement
Origin Energy People Services Pty Ltd Trading AS Origin Energy
ORIGIN ENERGY (LPG VICTORIA) ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2025
Application for approval of the Origin Energy (LPG Victoria) Enterprise Agreement 2025
[1] Origin Energy People Services Pty Ltd (the Employer) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Origin Energy (LPG Victoria) Enterprise Agreement 2025 (the Agreement) pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (the FW Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
[2] On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying declaration, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of sections 186, 187 and 188, as are relevant to this application for approval, has been met.
[3] I observe that the following provisions are likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (the NES):
Clause 4.7: application to the FWC to reduce redundancy pay
However, noting clause 1.4(c) of the Agreement, I am satisfied that the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.
[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 23 March 2026. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 19 January 2030.
