Application by Toll Transport Pty Limited
Citation: [2026] FWCA 1859
What happened
Toll Transport Pty Limited applied for approval of the Toll Helicopters Engineers Enterprise Agreement 2026 under section 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009. The agreement covers a group of employees and was negotiated with the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association (ALAEA) and the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU). There was a minor discrepancy in the agreement's title on the Notice of Employee Representational Rights versus the title clause itself.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the Toll Helicopters Engineers Enterprise Agreement 2026. The Commissioner found that a slight error in the agreement’s title did not disadvantage employees and could be disregarded. Clause 31A from the Airline Operations – Ground Staff Award 2020 is incorporated into the agreement under section 205A of the Act. The agreement will operate from July 23, 2026, and expire on March 31, 2030.
