In October 2017, 8 applications for approval of enterprise agreements raising issues of general interest were referred to a Full Bench of the Fair Work Commission.

Three of these applications have now been withdrawn.
On 28 June 2018 the Full Bench issued a decision in this matter.
Following the decision, parties are directed to file and serve written submissions in respect to the applications for approval of the ALDI Prestons Agreements and the ALDI Stapylton Agreement on the following schedule:
