Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation

(R2024/59)

KELLIE FONSECA SYDNEY, 3 JULY 2024

Alteration of other rules of organisation.

1. On 7 May 2024 the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (the Organisation) lodged with the Fair Work Commission (the Commission) a notice and declaration setting out particulars of alterations to its rules. Further material in support of the alterations were lodged on 20 May 2024.

1. The Organisation seeks certification of the alterations under section 159 of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the Act).

1. On the information contained in the notice and declaration and the further information supplied by the Organisation on 20 May 2024, I am satisfied the alterations have been made under the rules of the organisation.

1. The particulars set out alterations to Rules 87 and 49.

1. The proposed rule alterations make minor changes to the manner of election to office in the Organisation. They:

   ·   change the final point when scrutineers may be appointed, from the opening date of the ballot to the date the ballot closes; and

   ·   clarify when ballots are marked as informal.

2. In my opinion, the alterations comply with and are not contrary to the Act, the Fair Work Act 2009, modern awards and enterprise agreements, are not otherwise contrary to law and were made under the rules of the organisation. I certify accordingly under subsection 159(1) of the Act.
