Application for variation of a supported bargaining authorisation to remove an employer (Form F82B)

Use this form if you are:

• an employer specified in the supported bargaining authorisation
• an employee organisation that is a bargaining representative for the proposed enterprise agreement, and
• any other bargaining representative for the proposed enterprise agreement.

Have this information ready before you begin.

You will need to give us details about:

• who is making the application
• your representative (if you are using one)
• the employers who will be covered by the authorisation, including their contact details
• any other bargaining representatives you know of
• the employers and employees to be covered by the proposed agreement.

You will also need to provide information about:

• the change in circumstances of the relevant employers that mean it is no longer appropriate for the relevant employers to be specified in the authorisation
• the prevailing pay and conditions in the industry or sector
• any common interests the employers have, and
• whether the likely number of bargaining representatives for the agreement would be consistent with a manageable collective bargaining process.

You need to lodge a draft variation to the authorisation when you apply. There is information on the form that explains what the draft needs to include.

You must send (serve) a copy of your application to:

• each employer specified in the supported bargaining authorisation
• each employee organisation that is a bargaining representative for the proposed enterprise agreement, and
• any other bargaining representative for the proposed enterprise agreement.

We store your information in line with the Form F82B privacy notice (pdf).

We will review your application and contact you with next steps.
