Industrial relations

The 2007-2011 Nurses (Victorian Public Health Sector) agreement was signed on 19th February 2008.

On 19 July 2009, the Australian Industrial Relations Commission made an order to vary and extend the 2004-2007 EBA.

The revised consolidated agreement is known as the Nurses (Victorian Public Health Sector) Multiple Business Agreement 2004-2007 (Agreement ID: AG8040794-2) and replaces the 2007-11 Deed.

The varied and extended agreement remains in force until 1 November 2011.

The 2009 "Extended and varied" Agreement is available on the Fair Work Australia website at: http://www.fwa.gov.au/awards/tracee/agreements/pdf/AG838436-2.pdf
