(1) A party to a
dispute (referred to in this Division as the dispute ) may apply to the
Director in accordance with this Act and the conciliation rules for resolution
of the dispute by conciliation.
(2) Subsection (1) and
section 182ZU(1) have effect despite any other provision of this Act —
(a)
enabling or requiring a party to make application for a dispute or matter to
be heard and determined by an arbitrator; or
(b)
authorising an arbitrator to determine a dispute or matter.
Note for this section:
For example, if an
employer is ordered by the Director under section 58(2a) to make an
application for an arbitrator to hear and determine the question of liability
to make weekly payments, the employer must first make an application for
conciliation.
