This Chapter deals with the types of employer and employee associations that can be registered and the conditions for their registration (see Part   2). Part   2 also prohibits certain kinds of discriminatory conduct by employers and organisations in relation to the formation and registration of employee associations.

This Chapter also provides that an organisation's registration can be cancelled by the Federal Court or by the FWC. It sets out the grounds and procedures for cancellation, and the consequences of cancellation (see Part   3).
