122—Registration of associations
(1) SAET may, after
considering objections to registration duly made in accordance with the Rules,
register an association under this Part if satisfied—
(a) that
the association is eligible for registration under this Part; and
(b) that
the rules of the association conform with the requirements of this Part; and
(c) that
the prescribed conditions have been complied with; and
(d) that
the registration of the association would be consistent with the provisions
and objects of this Act; and
(e)
that—
(i)
the association is entirely comprised of employees
employed in a single business; or
(ii)
if the association is not an association of that
kind—there is no other registered association to which the members of
the association might conveniently belong; and
(f) that
the name of the applicant association would not cause confusion with the name
of another registered association or with the name of an organisation
registered under the Commonwealth (Registered Organisations) Act; and
(g) in
the case of an association of employees—that the association is not
dependent for financial or other resources on an employer, employers, or an
association of employers and is, in other respects, independent of control or
significant influence by an employer, employers or an association of
employers.
(2) SAET may, in an
appropriate case, waive compliance with any of the prescribed conditions
referred to in paragraph (c) above.
