More details
The Synod of NSW and the ACT ("the Synod") is comprised of multiple unicorporated associations who are, in their own right, employing entities.
Depending upon the constitution and/or by-laws of an individual Board, body, agency or institution within the Synod, the members of the relevant Board, Management Committee or Church Council of that organisation are legally viewed to be the employer irrespective of whether they are based in NSW or the ACT.
Employing entities of the Synod who are based in:- the Australian Capital Territory, will automatically fall within the federal industrial jurisdiction by virtue of the ACT’s territorial status;
- NSW, will remain within the NSW Industrial jurisdiction by virtue of their unincorporated status given they are not constitutional corporations for the purposes of the federal industrial legislation.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, there are a small number of incorporated entities that employ staff within the NSW Synod and they should clarify their position with Uniting Resources.
