Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009

A State‑registered association may apply to the General Manager for recognition under this Schedule if:

the association has no federal counterpart; and

the law of a State under which the association is registered is a law to which subclause (2) applies.

This subclause applies to a law of a State if the regulations so provide.

The application must be accompanied by:

a copy of the current rules of the association; and

a statement setting out:

the address of the association; and

each office in the association; and

the name and address of each person holding office in the association.

If the General Manager is satisfied that the association satisfies subclause (1), the General Manager must, by written instrument, grant the application and record the fact that he or she is so satisfied.

An instrument under subclause (4) is not a legislative instrument.

The General Manager must give a copy of the instrument to the association.

A State‑registered association is taken to be recognised under this Schedule when the General Manager grants the application.
