81 Application for an entry permit
(1) An application for an entry permit under section 512 of the Act must be accompanied by a document evidencing the completion, by the official who is to hold the permit, of appropriate training about the rights and responsibilities of a permit holder under the Act.
(2) For the purposes of deciding whether the official is a fit and proper person taking into account the permit qualification matters, the FWC may require the official to:
(a) provide the FWC with a National Police Certificate in respect of the official that has been issued:
(i) by the Australian Federal Police, or by a police force or police service of a State or Territory; and
(ii) not more than 30 days before the certificate is provided to the FWC; or
(b) provide to the FWC an authorisation signed by the official authorising the FWC to apply for such a certificate (together with all relevant details in relation to the official required to be included in such an application).
(3) The FWC may, before it considers the application, publish all of the following on the FWC’s website:
(a) the name of:
(i) the organisation applying for the entry permit; and
(ii) the official of the organisation who is to hold the permit;
(b) that the organisation has applied for the entry permit to be issued to the official;
(c) that submissions may be made to the FWC, within a specified time, as to whether the official is a fit and proper person to be issued with the entry permit.
