DECISION

[1]	On 27 February 2013, an application was lodged by the Minister administering the State Service Act 2000, (MASSA), pursuant to s.23 of the Industrial Relations Act 1984, to vary the Police Departmental Employees Award re Scope.

[2]	At the hearing in Hobart on 18 March 2013, Mr P Baker appeared for MASSA.  Ms C Miller appeared for The Community and Public Sector Union (State Public Services Federation Tasmania) Inc. (CPSU).  Inspector G Keating of Department of Police and Emergency Management (DPEM) advised the Commission on 27 February 2013 that “…I suspect DPEM representation may not be required for this part and can be dealt with by Mr Baker.”

[3]	Mr Baker explained that the purpose of the application was to reflect DP Wells’ decision of 1 March 2013, T13979 of 2012, in which a new Appendix 17 - Department of Police and Emergency Management Radio Dispatch Operators - was inserted into the Tasmanian State Service Award.

[4]	The CPSU consented to the application.

[5]	I am satisfied that the application is consistent with the public interest requirements of the Act. 

[6]	The application is granted operative from 30 March 2013.

[7]	The order reflecting this decision will be reflected in a consolidated award to be issued in the immediate future.
