Industrial Relations Act 1996

Whether or not an objection is made, the Industrial Registrar can refuse to register the applicant group or organisation as an association on the basis of an application under section 335 on any ground on which an objection could be made to the application and must notify the applicant in writing of the refusal and of the reasons for the refusal.

A group or organisation that has made an application under section 335 is registered when the Industrial Registrar enters in the register of associations of contract drivers or the register of associations of contract carriers the name of the association, particulars of the class of contracts in relation to which it is registered and such other particulars as may be prescribed by the regulations.

A branch of a group or organisation is not to be registered separately as an association under this section unless, in the opinion of the Industrial Registrar, it is of sufficient importance to be separately registered.
