Application by I-MED Victoria Pty Ltd
Citation: [2026] FWCA 2314
What happened
I-MED Victoria Pty Ltd applied to the Fair Work Commission for approval of the I-MED Victoria Enterprise Agreement 2024. The agreement covers employees and is similar to the previous agreement, with some classification definitions refined. Concerns were raised by an employee bargaining representative about the voting process and the agreement's duration. The Health Services Union (HSU) branches 1 and 3 lodged statutory declarations supporting the agreement's coverage.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the I-MED Victoria Enterprise Agreement 2024. Commissioner Clarke was satisfied the agreement met the requirements of sections 186, 187 and 188 of the Fair Work Act 2009. The agreement will operate from September 3, 2026, and expire on June 30, 2029. Certain undertakings from the employer were included as terms of the agreement.
What it means for employers
Employers seeking to implement enterprise agreements should ensure a fair voting process for all employees, including casuals. They must also be prepared to address concerns about the agreement's scope and duration. Providing clear explanations and evidence can help satisfy the Commission.
What it means for employees
Employees should be aware of their rights regarding enterprise agreement negotiations and voting. If they have concerns about the fairness of the process or the agreement's terms, they can raise them with the Fair Work Commission.
