Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009

The General Manager may at any time, by written notice, revoke a certificate issued to an organisation under section 245.

If a certificate is revoked, each branch will be a reporting unit.

A certificate may be revoked on application by an organisation or at the initiative of the General Manager.

An application by an organisation for the revocation of a certificate must:

be in accordance with the regulations; and

include an application for the General Manager to certify such alterations to the rules of the organisation as are required to give effect to each branch being a reporting unit.

Where an organisation applies for a revocation, the General Manager must revoke the certificate and certify the rule alterations if the General Manager is satisfied that:

the level of financial information that would be available to members with each branch being a reporting unit would be adequate and would be relevant to them; and

the alterations to the rules:

comply with, and are not contrary to, this Act, the Fair Work Act, modern awards or enterprise agreements; and

are not otherwise contrary to law; and

have been made under the rules of the organisation.

The General Manager may only revoke a certificate on his or her initiative if the General Manager:

is satisfied that, to improve compliance with the accounting, auditing and reporting requirements of this Part, it is most appropriate for each branch to be a reporting unit; and

has complied with the prescribed procedure.

Where:

the General Manager intends to revoke a certificate on his or her own initiative; and

in the General Manager’s opinion, the rules of an organisation need to be altered to give effect to each branch being a reporting unit;
