Application by Victorian Health Promotion Foundation Trading AS Vichealth
Citation: [2026] FWCA 2160
What happened
Victorian Health Promotion Foundation, trading as VicHealth, applied for approval of its Enterprise Agreement 2025 under the Fair Work Act 2009. The agreement is a single enterprise agreement covering some but not all employees. VicHealth requested corrections to clauses 12(a)(v) and 22.5 due to duplication and formatting errors. These changes were agreed upon with the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU). The CPSU also confirmed they want the agreement to cover their members.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation’s Enterprise Agreement 2025. The Commissioner made variations to correct administrative errors, removing a duplicated clause and reformatting another. The CPSU supports these changes. The agreement will operate from August 18, 2026, and expire on November 30, 2029.
What it means for employers
Employers should ensure enterprise agreements are carefully reviewed for errors or inconsistencies before submission to the Fair Work Commission. Consultation with employee representatives is crucial in identifying and rectifying these issues.
What it means for employees
Employees should be aware of their union’s involvement in enterprise agreement negotiations and any changes made as a result of those discussions. The approved agreement will impact terms and conditions of employment from August 18, 2026.
