Application by the Applicant Trading AS Medlog Regional
Citation: [2026] FWC 2176
What happened
Medlog Regional Pty Ltd sought to correct a minor error in a Fair Work Commission decision ([2026] FWCA 1060). The company had previously secured approval for the Medlog Regional (Long Distance and Intrastate Drivers) Enterprise Agreement 2025. It was discovered that the approved version of the agreement differed from the one ratified by employees, specifically regarding the nominal expiry date. No objections were raised by employee representatives.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission has corrected an error in its previous decision ([2026] FWCA 1060). The Commissioner found that the approved version of the enterprise agreement had an incorrect nominal expiry date. The correction updates the expiry date to June 30, 2028, aligning it with the version ratified by employees. The correct version of the agreement is now officially registered.
What it means for employers
Employers should ensure that the versions of documents submitted for approval accurately reflect those agreed upon with employees. This includes double-checking details like expiry dates to avoid needing corrections from the Fair Work Commission, which can be time consuming and potentially impact operational certainty.
What it means for employees
Employees should verify that any enterprise agreements presented for ratification are consistent with the final approved version registered by the Fair Work Commission. If discrepancies arise, employees should raise concerns with their bargaining representatives to ensure accuracy.
