Application for approval of the Titles Queensland Enterprise Agreement 2025

[1] Queensland Titles Registry Pty Ltd T/A Titles Queensland (the Employer) has applied for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Titles Queensland Enterprise Agreement 2025 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I indicated to the parties my view that the Agreement's workplace delegates' rights term, provided in clauses 41 and 42 of the Agreement, was less favourable than that provided by the State Government Agencies Award 2020 (the Award). The Employer and the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (ASU) advised that they were agreeable to the Award delegates' rights term being inserted into the Agreement and replacing clauses 41 and 42 of the Agreement. Pursuant to s.205A(2) of the Act, the workplace delegates' rights term prescribed by the Award is attached to the Agreement and taken to be a term of it.

[3] I have taken into consideration the material filed in the Commission. I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account s.186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[4] The ASU, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the ASU.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from

18 December 2025. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 September 2027.
