Reference, consisting of a member of the Commission, which shall determine whether or not such a
set-off should be permitted having regard to what is fair and equitable in all the circumstances of the
case, without regard to technicalities and legal forms.
An appeal lies from a decision of a Board of Reference to a Full Bench of the Commission.
This clause shall apply for a period of twelve months from the commencement date of the Vehicle
Industry - Repair, Services and Retail - Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005.
Any registered organisation bound by the terms of the Vehicle Industry - Repair, Services and Retail Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005 shall be notified of the time and date of hearing in relation

for persons with a disability as provided for under the Social Security Act 1991 (Cth), as amended
from time to time, or any successor to that scheme.
2. The intention of this provision is limited to preventing the award from applying to sheltered
workshops (i.e. supported employment services). It does not prevent the award from applying to
employees with disabilities in open employment.
3. Leave is reserved for any party to have this issue reconsidered in the light of any developments in
the national process which is currently considering workplace relations issues for sheltered workshops.
This national process includes the Disability Sector National Industry Consultative Council and any
related applications that seek award coverage for sheltered workshops.
Note 2
1. The purpose of the exception above is to maintain the status quo in respect of employers who, as at
the date of effect of the common rule declaration, are making superannuation contributions into a
complying superannuation fund. These employers will not be required to change their existing
arrangements. Nor will there be any requirement for the existing arrangements to be the subject of an
agreement between the employer and employees. For the avoidance of doubt, the exception continues
The Vehicle Industry - Repair, Services and Retail Award 2002 [AP824308CAV – Fed]
7
to apply to employers who are making superannuation contributions to complying superannuation
funds which are successor funds (as defined in Regulation 1.03 of the Superannuation Industry
(Supervision) Regulations 1994 (Cth), or as amended or replaced by other legislation) into which
benefits are transferred, after the date of effect of the common rule declaration, in accordance with the
Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) and the Regulations thereunder. Further,
existing arrangements includes the making of contributions to such funds.
2. The exception is in respect of current and future employees of the employers who are entitled to the
benefit of the exemption.
3. The exception does not apply to new businesses which are established after the date on which the
award is declared to have effect as a common rule.
4. The exception only applies to employers who are required to apply the terms of the award by virtue
of the common rule declaration. It does not apply to employers who are named respondents to the
award or who are parties bound by virtue of the membership of an employer organisation.
5. The exception applies subject to any Commonwealth legislation to the contrary.
Note 3
Subject to s.113 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 (Cth) and any order of the Commission, an
award dealing with particular matters continues in force until a new award is made dealing with the
same matters (see s.148 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 (Cth)).
