Public Sector Enterprise Bargaining

In reply to Mr COWDREY (Colton) (29 June 2023). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I have been advised:

The following information outlines the current enterprise agreements across the public sector, their date of commencement (date they come into force) and their nominal expiry date.

(1) A proposed new SA Health Visiting Medical Specialists Enterprise Agreement 2023 is currently at ballot.

(2) An application for a proposed new Adelaide Cemeteries Authority Enterprise Agreement 2023 is currently before the SAET.

(3) ForestrySA made an offer for a new ForestrySA Enterprise Agreement 2023 on 4 July 2023.

(4) Of these agreements only the staff employed under the Parliament (Joint Services) Act 1985 Enterprise Agreement 2021 is approved by the SAET, the others are unregistered. These agreements are not subject to government wages policy and do not bind the declared employer of public employees. They are negotiated under the auspices of SA parliament.
