Royal Australian Mint Certified Agreement and APS Values
The 2006-07 Royal Australian Mint Agency Agreement was negotiated under section 328 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 and will expire at the end of December 2007.
The 2006-07 agreement delivered a 4 percent increase from 18 April 2006. The increase will be funded by productivity and efficiency initiatives. The shared objective of the agreement is to provide a framework within which a cooperative approach to production can be continued. It also aims to improve the Mint's ability to make products that the market wants in a timely, efficient and profitable manner, while providing employees with job security, improved career opportunities and working conditions and competitive remuneration. The agreement also reinforces the continued commitment by all parties to the Royal Australian Mint Values.

Workplace Relations
The Mint has a range of formal and informal consultative arrangements including the Mint Consultative Forum which meets regularly. It is chaired by the CEO and comprises management representatives, elected employee representatives and representatives of the Community and Public Sector Union and the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union. The relationship with both unions is cooperative and inclusive.
The agreement commits to discussing workplace issues in a spirit of cooperation and trust, and ensuring employees receive information on workplace issues affecting them, including business progress and the impacts of new programmes. The agreement also allows employees to contribute their views on these issues.
