717G Relationship with other powers
(1) Whether a cooperation agreement is in force in relation to particular conduct does not affect:
(a) the power of the Fair Work Ombudsman to accept an enforceable undertaking under section 715 in relation to the conduct; or
(b) the power of an inspector to give a notice under section 716 in relation to the conduct; or
(c) any other power or function of the Fair Work Ombudsman or an inspector that is not mentioned in subsection 717A(1).
(2) However:
(a) an enforceable undertaking has no effect to the extent that it is inconsistent with a cooperation agreement; and
(b) a compliance notice has no effect to the extent that an action specified in the notice is inconsistent with a cooperation agreement.
This subsection has effect regardless of whether the undertaking or notice was given before or after the cooperation agreement comes into force.
