DECISION

Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009
s.159—Alteration of other rules of organisation
Independent Education Union of Australia
(R2015/215)
MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 11 DECEMBER 2015
Alteration of other rules of organisation.

[1]        On 25 September 2015 the New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory Branch of

the Independent Education Union of Australia (the Branch) lodged with the Fair Work

Commission a notice and declaration setting out particulars of alterations to the rules of the

Branch.

[2]        The particulars set out alterations to rules 7 and 8 of the rules of the Branch. The

alterations enable the Branch Executive to appoint and dismiss, subject to their terms and

conditions of employment, professional and industrial staff; and the Branch Secretary to

appoint and dismiss clerical and administrative staff in consultation with the Branch

President.

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

made under the rules of the organisation.

[4]        On 23 and 24 November 2015, Carol Matthews, Assistant Secretary of the Branch,

gave consent, under subsection 159(2) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009

(the RO Act), for the Delegate to make various amendments to the alterations for the purpose

of correcting typographical, clerical or formal errors. Accordingly the following correction

has been made:

	in proposed rule 7.1(e) of the Branch rules by deleting the words "General Secretary"
and replacing them with the words "Branch Secretary" so that proposed rule 7.1(e)
reads as follows:
(e) appoint and dismiss, subject to their terms and conditions of employment,

professional or industrial staff; in consultation with the Branch Secretary

define the duties of a particular member of the professional or industrial staff,

with, where appropriate, consultation with the particular employee concerned;

and to make arrangements with the Branch Secretary for the appointment of

other staff or consultants; and, in consultation with the Branch Secretary, to

determine the terms and conditions of employment of such staff and

consultants.

[2015] FWCD 8410

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