The planned employee ballot for the proposed Child Safety and Youth Justice Certified Agreement 2019 was due to open for voting on 3 April 2020, however, the departments are currently clarifying some related matters and while this occurs, a decision has been made to pause the opening of the ballot.
The departments are seeking to finalise matters as soon as possible and in the meantime, the existing State Government Entities Certified Agreement 2015 continues to apply.
The departments will keep staff updated as further information regarding the employee ballot becomes available.
If the ballot process indicates a valid majority of employees approve the Agreement, we and other parties to the Agreement will approach the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission (QIRC) seeking that the Agreement be certified.
It is proposed that, once certified by the QIRC, the Agreement will replace the State Government Entities Certified Agreement 2015, which will be terminated by agreement between the relevant parties.
