IN THE TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

Industrial Relations Act 1984


T2103 of 1988	IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION BY THE TASMANIAN SALARIED MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS' SOCIETY TO VARY THE MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS (PUBLIC SECTOR) AWARD RE: HOURS OF WORK; SUPERSESSION AND SAVING; PARTIES AND PERSONS BOUND; DEFINITIONS; CONDITIONS OF SERVICE AND REMOVAL EXPENSES

COMMISSIONER R. J. WATLING	HOBART, 13 September 1989

REASONS FOR DECISION

APPEARANCES:

For the Tasmanian Salaried Medical Practitioners' Society	- Dr. G. Senator

For the Minister for Public Administration	- Mr. C. Shirley

DATE AND PLACE OF HEARING:

25 August 1989 Hobart

Application T2103 of 1989 was made by the Tasmanian Salaried Medical Practitioners Society to vary the 'Scope' clause in the Medical Practitioners (Public Sector) Award.

It was later amended by the Society to also vary the following clauses:

1. Supersession and Saving
2. Parties and Persons Bound
3. Definitions
4. Conditions of Service
5. Hours of Work
6. Removal Expenses

The sole purpose of the application was to remove redundant references in the award to the Public Service Board and incorporate appropriate references to conform with the Tasmanian State Service Act 1984 and Regulations.

The application was supported by all parties to the award.

The award will be varied in the manner sought by the parties as it does not offend the Wage Fixing Principles and only seeks to rectify some anomalous references in the award to a now repealed Public Service Act and Public Service Board and I decide accordingly.

ORDER:

The order giving effect to this decision will be issued along with the order arising out of application T1633 of 1988, with the same operative date.

R.J. Watling
COMMISSIONER
