Citation: [2026] FWCA 1961
What happened
EG Fuelco (Australia) Limited, trading as EG Australia, applied to the Fair Work Commission for approval of the EG Australia Fuel & Convenience Enterprise Agreement 2026. The Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) and the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees’ Association (SDA) were bargaining representatives for the agreement. The application was made under section 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the EG Australia Fuel & Convenience Enterprise Agreement 2026. Commissioner Ryan noted that certain clauses may be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards, but the more beneficial entitlements will prevail. The agreement covers the AWU and SDA. It will operate from July 31, 2026, and expire on July 24, 2029.
What it means for employers
Employers seeking to implement enterprise agreements must ensure they comply with all relevant sections of the Fair Work Act 2009, including those relating to undertakings and consistency with the National Employment Standards. Any inconsistencies will be resolved in favour of employee entitlements under the NES.
What it means for employees
Employees covered by the EG Australia Fuel & Convenience Enterprise Agreement 2026 will benefit from the terms outlined in the agreement. Where the agreement conflicts with the National Employment Standards, the more beneficial provisions for employees will apply.
