Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009
s.159—Alteration of other rules of organisation
CPSU, the Community and Public Sector Union
(R2014/161)
MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 17 OCTOBER 2014
Alteration of other rules of organisation.

[1] On 20 June 2014 the CPSU, the Community and Public Sector Union, SPSF Group

lodged with the Fair Work Commission a notice and declaration setting out particulars of
alterations to the rules of the CPSU, the Community and Public Sector Union, SPSF Group.

[2] The particulars provide for the insertion of Rule 36 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] Further information was sought from the organisation regarding the rule altering procedure and concerning two possible errors in the particulars.

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

[5] On 30 September 2014, consent under subsection 159(2) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the RO Act) was received from Karen Batt, Federal Secretary, for

the Delegate to make various amendments to the alterations for the purpose of correcting typographical, clerical or formal errors. Accordingly the following corrections have been made:

 In proposed rule 36.4(b)(i) a reference to ‘Branch President of the Group’ has been

changed to ‘Branch President of the Branch’;

 In proposed rule 36.5(d) a reference to Rule 36.4(b) has been changed to Rule 36.4(a).

[2014] FWCD 7238

[6] In my opinion, the alterations comply with and are not contrary to 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.
