Negotiation Process - Employee Collective Agreement (Senior Staff) 2009-2012
The negotiation process for the new Employee Collective Agreement (Senior Staff) was initiated in September 2008. An external consultant, Helen Twohill, was engaged to review and develop the new agreement based on consultation and feedback obtained from the University's senior staff.
The final draft agreement was agreed to by senior staff via an on-line ballot process early June, and subsequently lodged with the Australian Workplace Authority for assessment against the Federal Government No Disadvantage Test (NDT) requirements.
The Australian Workplace Authority advised that the agreement passed the NDT on the 29 July 2009. The new agreement formally commences operation 7 days after this notification, so is effective from the 5 August 2009.
Agreement Approval Process - Workplace Authority Information

- Agreement Notice - Employee Collective Agreement passed the No-Disadvantage Test (29/07/09)
