DECISION [1] This matter relates to a review of the Health Services Union of Australia (Private Pathology - Victoria) Award 1993 (the award) pursuant to Item 51 of Part 2 of Schedule 5 of the Workplace Relations and Other Legislation Amendment Act 1996 (the WROLA Act). [2] Having reviewed the award consistent with the Award Simplification Principles, and having heard the submissions of the parties, the award will be varied so as to remove provisions which ceased to have effect under Item 50 of Part 2 of Schedule 5 of the WROLA Act, other than those clauses which are administrative in nature or are both incidental to allowable award matters and necessary for the effective operation of the award. [3] The award has been reviewed pursuant to Item 51(4) and (5) and once varied the award will satisfy the criteria set out in Item 51(6) and (7) of the WROLA Act. [4] The rates in the award have been adjusted by consent (C2003/6536) to incorporate the May 2002 and May 2003 Safety Net Review - Wages Decisions [ PR002002 and PR002003 ]. I am satisfied that this does not result in an increase in the wage rates actually paid to employees or increase the wage costs for an employer. [5] The Health Services Union of Australia (Private Pathology - Victoria) Award 2003 shall come into effect from 4 December 2003 and will remain in place for a period of twelve months.
