About recognition of State-registered industrial organisations
To represent their members in the national industrial system, State-registered employer associations and unions may be able to seek federal recognition under the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (RO Act), under either:
- Schedule 1 as a 'transitionally recognised association' (TRA), or
- Schedule 2 as a 'recognised State-registered association' (RSRA).
Pre 1 July 2009 transitionally registered associations
Under Schedule 10 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996, certain State-registered associations were able to become transitionally registered.
Each transitionally registered association existing immediately prior to the commencement of the RO Act (i.e. 1 July 2009) automatically became a transitionally recognised association through the operation of Item 627 of Schedule 22 of the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009.
