[1] Signcraft Pty Ltd (ABN: 79 006 420 515) has applied for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Signcraft Enterprise Agreement 2025 under s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).

[2] The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[3] I observe that the following clauses are likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards:

• Clause 25 - Compassionate leave

[6] Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each requirement of sections 186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.
