Industrial Relations Act 1996

If a corporation contravenes, whether by act or omission, any provision of this Act or the regulations, each person who is a director of the corporation or who is concerned in the management of the corporation is taken to have contravened the same provision if the person knowingly authorised or permitted the contravention.

Subsection (1) does not apply in respect of a contravention of section 361.

A person may be proceeded against and convicted under a provision pursuant to this section whether or not the corporation has been proceeded against or been convicted under that provision.

Nothing in this section affects any liability imposed on a corporation—

for an offence committed by the corporation under this Act or the regulations, or

for a contravention of a civil penalty provision by the corporation.

In this section, corporation does not include an industrial organisation.
