Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009

When the FWC grants an application by an association for registration as an organisation, the General Manager must immediately enter, in the register kept under subsection 13(1), such particulars in relation to the association as are prescribed and the date of the entry.

An association is to be taken to be registered under this Act when the General Manager enters the prescribed particulars in the register under subsection (1).

On registration, an association becomes an organisation.

The General Manager must issue to each organisation registered under this Act a certificate of registration in the prescribed form.

Certificates of registration issued under the Workplace Relations Act 1996 continue in force (see the Workplace Relations Legislation Amendment (Registration and Accountability of Organisations) (Consequential Provisions) Act 2002).

The certificate is, until proof of cancellation, conclusive evidence of the registration of the organisation specified in the certificate.

The General Manager may, as prescribed, issue to an organisation a copy of, or a certificate replacing, the certificate of registration issued under subsection (4) or that certificate as amended under section 160.
