SYDNEY DAY SURGERY - PRINCE ALFRED NURSING EMPLOYEES ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2025
Application for approval of the Sydney Day Surgery - Prince Alfred Nursing Employees Enterprise Agreement 2025
[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Sydney Day Surgery - Prince Alfred Nursing Employees Enterprise Agreement 2025 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to section 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
[2] The Employer has provided written undertakings (Undertakings). A copy of the Undertakings is attached in Annexure A to this decision. I am satisfied that the effect of accepting the Undertakings is not likely to:
(a) cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement; or
(b) result in substantial changes to the Agreement.
[3] The views of each person who the Fair Work Commission knows is a bargaining representative for the Agreement have been sought in relation to the Undertakings.
[4] Pursuant to subsection 190(3) of the Act, I accept the Undertakings. The Undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.
[5] Subject to the Undertakings, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of sections 186, 187, 188 and 190 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
[6] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with section 54 of the Act, will operate from 19 August 2025. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 18 August 2028.
[7] The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF), being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice to the Fair Work Commission that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s 201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers the ANMF.
