DECISION

Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009
s.159—Alteration of other rules of organisation
The Australian Retailers Association
(R2013/56)
MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 7 MAY 2014
Alteration of other rules of organisation.

[1] On 7 April 2014, The Australian Retailers Association (the organisation) lodged with

the Fair Work Commission a notice and declaration setting out particulars of alterations to the
rules of the organisation.

[2] The particulars provide for the insertion of new rule 41 into the rules of the organisation. The alterations were made for the purpose of complying with provisions of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment Act 2012 (the Amendment Act) regarding the rules of registered organisations. In particular, the alterations provide for specified disclosures, the implementation of policies relating to expenditure and the mandatory training of officers with duties that relate to the financial management of the organisation.

[3] On the information contained in the notice, I am satisfied the alterations have been made under the rules of the organisation.

[4] Pursuant to regulation 126(1) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Regulations 2009, I allow an additional period of time to lodge the notice of particulars on 7

April 2014.

[5] In my opinion, the alterations comply with and are not contrary to the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the RO Act), the Amendment Act, the Fair Work Act 2009, modern awards and enterprise agreements, and are not otherwise contrary to law. I

certify accordingly under subsection 159(1) of the RO Act.
