(2) A party to a complaint may be assisted by another person (not being an Australian legal practitioner) if the assistance is provided--
(a) to the complainant, or
(b) to another party to the complaint and the Registrar or conciliator gives permission because the party would be disadvantaged without the assistance.
(3) This section does not prevent an officer of a corporation that is a party to a complaint from representing the corporation.
(4) Contravention of this section does not invalidate the conciliation of a complaint.
