Enterprise Agreement negotiations open

Vice President, Engagement, Ben Roche said the current agreement was due for renewal and the University had outlined the guiding principles for a new agreement.

These are that the new arrangement:

• is fair and affordable;
• is consistent with the Fair Work Act and community standards;
• is clearer in its interpretation and application so that everyone knows what has been agreed;
• promotes innovation, change and efficiency;
• supports and encourages high-performance; and
• promotes flexible work practices.

“We expect this to be a substantial starting point for negotiations,” Mr Roche said.

Further meetings have been scheduled on a regular basis so that all parties can continue to openly engage in meaningful negotiations.
