The agreement will operate from August 6, 2026, and expire on July 29, 2030.
What it means for employers
Employers should ensure their enterprise agreements accurately reflect the legal entity employing staff. This includes correctly identifying trustees or other corporate structures involved in employment relationships. Minor administrative errors can be corrected but it's best to get them right initially.
What it means for employees
Employees covered by this agreement will benefit from its terms and conditions, which are now clarified regarding the employer’s legal structure. The changes made to clauses 3.2(1) and 6.4(1) do not alter their employment rights or obligations.
