Bulletin 18 - reminder to vote - issued 17 June 2026

The ballot for the proposed Northern Territory Public Sector Fire and Rescue Service 2025-2029 Enterprise Agreement closes at 10am on 22 June 2026.

If you haven’t already voted, then I encourage you to take part in the ballot by casting your vote prior to the ballot closing date.

All employees covered by the current agreement are entitled to vote. You do not have to be a union member to participate in the ballot.

You should have received an email link to cast your confidential vote. If you have not received this, contact Vero Voting by email at support@verovoting.com.au or call 1300 702 989.

The Vero ballot process ensures all employee personal details remain confidential with end-to-end encryption and anonymity to ensure integrity of the ballot process.

Make your vote count

If the majority of employees who vote, vote yes, and the agreement is approved by the Fair Work Commission, the significant improvements to terms and conditions of employment for employees will be implemented.

Every vote is important and can make a difference, and I encourage you to take part in this ballot by casting your vote. Watch the key highlights video.

More information

Links to the proposed agreement and explanatory notes are available in bulletin 16. There should also be hard copies of the proposed agreement and explanatory notes available in your workplace.

For further information on the proposed agreement, the explanatory notes or the ballot process, email OCPE at enquiries.ocpe@nt.gov.au.
