QUEEN VICTORIA HOME NURSING ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2025

Application for approval of The Queen Victoria Home Nursing Enterprise Agreement 2025

[1] Queen Victoria Care Home Inc (the Employer) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Queen Victoria Home Nursing 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] At the conclusion of clause 29.9(a), the Agreement stated 'as defined by clause Error! Reference source not found..' The employer intended to refer to clause 8 of the Agreement relating to the definition of a Shift worker. The updated copy of the Agreement corrects this error. I am satisfied that this constituted an obvious error, defect, or irregularity and I will amend the Agreement accordingly pursuant to s.218A of the FW Act.

[4] The Health & Community Services Union (HSU) and the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have each given notice under s.183 of the FW Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) (and based on the declarations provided by the organisations), I note that the Agreement covers these organisations.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 27 February 2026. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 July 2028.
