Industrial Relations (General)

Amendment (Registration) Regulation

2013

under the

Industrial Relations Act 1996

His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Industrial Relations Act 1996.

MIKE BAIRD, MP

Minister for Industrial Relations

Explanatory note
The amendments to the Industrial Relations Act 1996 by the Industrial Relations Amendment (Industrial Representation) Act 2012 provided for circumstances in which specified bodies, including the Emergency Medical Service Protection Association (NSW) Inc (EMPSA NSW), could be registered as State organisations of employees even if another body represented the same employees. To avoid doubt, this Regulation prescribes the Emergency Medical Service Protection Association (NSW) as a body that is capable of registration as a State organisation of employees even if it would not otherwise be capable of registration because of provisions of the Industrial Relations Act 1996 that prevent registration where there is another industrial organisation of employees to which its members could belong. The provisions inserted by the 2012 amendment are applied to an existing application for registration by that organisation.

This Regulation is made under the Industrial Relations Act 1996, including sections 217 (3) and 407 (the general regulation-making power) and clause 2 (1) of Schedule 4 to the Act.
