The regulation of registered organisations was affected by the transfer of the functions of the former Registered Organisations Commissioner to the General Manager of the Fair Work Commission, Murray Furlong, in March 2023.
In this episode we talk about:
- the Registered Organisations Governance and Compliance External Review and the General Manager’s response to it.
- consultation being undertaken, including the Registered Organisations Advisory Committee (ROAC).
- improvements to the processing of applications that are already underway, and future improvements that are being planned.
You will hear directly from the General Manager about encouraging and supporting registered organisations to better enable compliance and transparency.
