DECISION

Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009
s.189—Arrangement for conduct of an election
VANA Limited
(E2016/163)
MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 4 AUGUST 2016
Arrangement for conduct of election.

[1]        On 23 June and 29 July 2016 VANA Limited lodged with the Fair Work Commission

the prescribed information in relation to an election for the following offices:

Non-Member Director

Chairperson

Vice Chairperson

Treasurer

Executive Director

[2]        Following the previous election held by the organisation [E2015/212], the Post-

election report of the Australian Electoral Commission noted that the organisation’s rules do

not define who is a financial member of the organisation and that rule 15.7 does not specify if

voters need to be financial members. As required by section 198 of the Fair Work (Registered

Organisations) Act 2009, the organisation provided a response on 25 January 2016 which

advised that the organisation had taken action to modify its rules. I note that the organisation

has taken steps to alter its rules, but has not yet made alterations that address the issues raised

by the AEC.

[3]        I am satisfied that an election for the abovenamed offices is required to be held under

the rules of the organisation and, under subsection 189(3) of the Fair Work (Registered

Organisations) Act 2009, I am making arrangements for the conduct of the election by the

Australian Electoral Commission.
