DECISION

Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009
s.159—Alteration of other rules of organisation
Finance Sector Union of Australia
(R2014/19)
MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 3 NOVEMBER 2014
Alteration of other rules of organisation.

[1]        On 5 February 2014, the Finance Sector Union of Australia lodged with the Fair Work

Commission a notice and declaration setting out particulars of alterations to the rules of the
Finance Sector Union of Australia.

[2]        The particulars set out alterations to rule 69 of the rules of the Finance Sector Union of

Australia.

[3]        These alterations were made to remedy omissions in the alterations made for the

purpose of complying with provisions of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations)

Amendment Act 2012 (the Amendment Act) – [2014] FWCD 510. In the decision, I advised

that the omission of the rules to:

	include definitions that referred to branches;
	provide for the disclosures of the organisation to branches;
	require an officer to disclose remuneration received from a Board because the officer was nominated for the position by a branch of the organisation;
	require a branch officer to disclose remuneration received from a board because the officer was nominated for the position by the organisation; and
	provide for the disclosure to branches and members payments made to related parties of a branch

would need to be remedied by the organisation in order to ensure full compliance with the
provisions of the Amendment Act.

[4]        On the information contained in the notice, I am satisfied the alterations have been

made under the rules of the organisation.

[5]        On 31 October 204, Fiona Jordan, National Secretary of the Finance Sector Union of

Australia gave consent, under subsection 159(2) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations)

Act 2009, 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:
[2014] FWCD 7652

	in the particulars, changing the second reference to proposed rule change to sub-rule 69.1.12 to sub-rule 69.1.13; and
	in proposed rule 69.1.12 by deleting the words “or sub rule to 69.3.1”.

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

(Registered Organisations) Act 2009, 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 Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009.
