Rules of APTIA

On 5 April 2016 the Fair Work Commission approved the rule changes following resolutions at the most recent APTIA annual general meeting held in Singapore in November 2015.

The rule changes provide a simplified method of holding Council elections following recommendations from the Australian Electoral Office in 2014. The next Council elections are due in August 2018.

Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment Act 2012

On the 29 June 2012 Royal Assent was given to the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment Act 2012. The amendments were driven by irregularities alleged with the HSU which had attracted large public scrutiny. A Fact Sheet on the amendments can be accessed by clicking on the PDF below.

Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment Act 2012 (70 KB)

The amendments can be summarised as follows:

By the 29th July 2013, or at least 6 months after the proclamation of the new amendments APTIA must change its rules to include the following new rules (model rules will be shortly available):

• Rules that require officers of an organisation (includes Office Bearers and councillors) to disclose any monies paid to them. (Section 148A)
• Rules that require officers of an organisation to disclose any material interest in any matters relating to the affairs of the organisation. (Section 148B)
• Rules that require disclosure to all members about payments made to related parties of the organisation. (section 148C)
• Rules that require each office of an organisation whose responsibility include financial management to undertake training. (Section 154D)
• Rules that require development of policies relating to the expenditure of the organisation.

The Training requirement is  a mandatory one, which requires any person, who have any role on the expenditure of monies on behalf fop APTIA to undertake training on that responsibility.
