End of year timeframes for enterprise agreement applications

02 Nov 2022
Body

December is usually the busiest time of the year for enterprise agreement applications. The Commission does not close over the festive period, and we will continue to process and approve enterprise agreements as quickly as possible.

If you want your agreement to be approved quickly and easily, we recommend you:

  • Check the helpful information on our online guide: Make an enterprise agreement 
  • Make sure your application is complete and complies with all requirements
  • Lodge your application as early as possible
  • Provide contact details with your application for someone who will be available over the festive period, in case we need further information

We usually approve simple (complete and compliant) applications in about 2 weeks. More complicated or incomplete ones often take longer. If too many applications are lodged in the second half of December the increased volume may also cause delays, so we recommend you get in early.
