Quorum at meetings

  (1)   At a meeting of Safe Work Australia, a majority of the voting members constitute a quorum.

  (b)   when the member leaves the meeting concerned there is no longer a quorum present;

the remaining voting members at the meeting constitute a quorum for the purpose of any deliberation or decision at that meeting in relation to that matter.

  (3)   Despite subsections   (1) and (2), a quorum is not constituted for the purpose of any deliberation or decision relating to the model WHS legislative framework if a majority of all of the voting members who represent the Commonwealth, States and Territories are not present for the deliberation or decision.
