Bargaining for the new City of Greater Geelong Enterprise Agreement (EA) is progressing well. The City is working closely with the unions and employee representatives to ensure that the new EA meets the needs of our employees and balances our fiscal responsibilities.

The bargaining process is a collaborative process involving the unions employee representatives and our employees.

In the past few weeks our focus had been on local area schedules including for Leisure & Recreation Home & Community Care Maternal & Child Health Family Services Engineering Services and Health & Local Laws.

Achieving positive flexible working outcomes is a key focus for the the City throughout this process. In the upcoming weeks we will continue our collaborative conversations around this topic as well as looking at leave allowances and other provisions.

We will work closely and collaboratively with the unions and employee representatives to ensure that the best outcome is achieved for all.

Keep an eye out for regular updates about the progress of the EA and contact the Policy and Workplace Relations team if you have any questions.
