Application by Royal Automobile Club Of Victoria Limited (Racv)
Citation: [2026] FWCA 2058
What happened
Royal Automobile Club of Victoria Limited (RACV) applied for approval of the RACV Club and Resorts Collective Agreement 2026, which covers RACV and Club Tasmania Holdings Pty Ltd. Several issues were raised with RACV's application, leading to written undertakings being provided. The United Workers’ Union (UWU), a bargaining representative, did not object to these undertakings. The agreement does not contain a workplace delegates rights term.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the RACV Club and Resorts Collective Agreement 2026. The Commissioner was satisfied that the undertakings would not cause financial detriment to employees and are considered terms of the agreement. A prescribed workplace delegates’ rights term from the relevant award will apply. The UWU is covered by the agreement, and it will operate seven days after approval.
What it means for employers
Employers seeking to implement enterprise agreements should be prepared to address issues raised during the application process with written undertakings. These undertakings become legally binding terms of the agreement. Ensure compliance with all relevant legislative requirements, including those relating to workplace delegate rights.
What it means for employees
Employees covered by the RACV Club and Resorts Collective Agreement 2026 will benefit from the approved agreement and associated undertakings. The UWU is also covered under this agreement. Employees should be aware that a prescribed workplace delegates’ rights term applies due to its absence in the agreement.
