INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 212

Conscientious objection to membership of organisation

212 Conscientious objection to membership of organisation

(1) The Industrial Registrar may issue a certificate of conscientious objection to a person who satisfies the Industrial Registrar that he or she holds a genuine conscientious objection to becoming a member of an industrial organisation of employees.
(2) The Industrial Registrar may refuse to issue or may cancel such a certificate if the person does not pay the Industrial Registrar fees (including periodic fees) of such amount as the Industrial Registrar determines would be payable for membership of a relevant industrial organisation of employees.
(3) A certificate of conscientious objection may, without limiting this section, be issued to a person (whether or not an employee) who satisfies the Industrial Registrar that he or she is a practising member of a religious society or order (such as the Brethren) whose tenets or beliefs preclude membership of any organisation or body other than that society or order. In the case of a certificate issued to a person who is not an employee, a reference in this section to a relevant organisation of employees is taken to be a reference to a relevant organisation of employers.
