(D2025/2)

DEPUTY PRESIDENT SAUNDERS NEWCASTLE, 28 AUGUST 2025

Application by Restaurant & Catering Australia – Industrial Relations Incorporated for registration as an organisation – no opposition to application – application granted

1. Restaurant & Catering Australia – Industrial Relations Incorporated (Association) has applied to the Fair Work Commission (Commission) for registration as an organisation pursuant to s 18 of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (RO Act).

1. I am satisfied on the basis of the material before the Commission that each of the requirements set out in s 19 of the RO Act have been met. I therefore grant the application by the Association for registration as an organisation.

1. The Association will be registered as an organisation under the RO Act with effect on and from 1 September 2025.
