This legislation has been repealed.

WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 522

             (1)  An award may include terms that are:

                     (a)  incidental to an allowable award matter about which there is a term in the award; and

                     (b)  essential for the purpose of making a particular term operate in a practical way.

             (2)  For the purposes of this section, to the extent that a term of an award is about a matter that is not an allowable award matter because of the operation of section 515, 517, 518 or 519, the term is not, and cannot be, incidental to an allowable award matter, and is of no effect to that extent.

             (3)  However, to avoid doubt, paragraph 515(1)(g) does not limit the operation of subsections (1) and (4) to the extent that those subsections relate to the matter referred to in paragraph 513(1)(o).

             (4)  An award may include machinery provisions including, but not limited to, provisions about the following:

                     (a)  commencement;

                     (b)  definitions;

                     (c)  titles;

                     (d)  arrangement;

                     (e)  employers, employees and organisations;

                      (f)  term of the award.
