DECISION

[1]  On 29 August 2012, 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 Health and Human Services (Tasmanian State Service) Award.  This application seeks to delete reference to ‘Indicative Occupation’ at levels 4, 5 and 6 of Appendix 11 Dental Officers.

[4] The Unions with an interest in the Award did not oppose the application.

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