| 10/30/23 |  Episode 49: A conversation with the General Manager | In this episode of RO pod we talk with the General Manager, Murray Furlong, about the transfer, the internal restructure to produce a unified Registered Organisations Services Branch, and his strategic approach to work with organisations and their peak bodies.

| 8/24/23 |  Episode 48: Altering your organisation's rules | In this episode of RO pod, we talk about how rule alteration procedures can vary across organisations.

| 6/29/23 |  Episode 47: Governance training and training exemptions | Officers of Registered Organisations with financial responsibilities must undertake approved financial training, or apply for an exemption from training, within six months of taking office.

| 5/25/23 |  Episode 46: Current issues in the elections space | Registered organisations and branches need to lodge prescribed information with the Fair Work Commission at least two months before your rules say nominations are open. The election is then conducted by the Australian Election Commission (AEC) unless the branch holds an exemption. There has been a disruption to election cycles over the past few years as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the AEC being unable to conduct elections for a period of time. In this episode, we discuss what you must do if your rules say that an election is due to be held, whether or not you've had a missed or delayed election, and how you can resynchronise your election cycles. We also look at other current issues that we are seeing with industrial elections that organisations should be aware of. | — | ||||||

| 2/22/23 |  Episode 43: Effective minute-taking | In this month's episode of the podcast, we'll be talking about how to take effective minutes of your meetings. Minutes provide evidence for what is discussed and decided on at your meetings. Good minutes can protect an organisation and its officers, particularly if decisions are called into question later and evidence needs to be provided. A reminder to all our listeners that the Registered Organisation Commission (ROC) will be abolished from 6 March 2023 and that all of the ROC's functions will be transferred to the Fair Work Commission from this date. | — | ||||||
| 1/26/23 |  Episode 42: You've identified non-compliance … what's next? | The vast majority of organisations we work with want to comply with their legislative obligations and they take steps to do just that. However, mistakes and non-compliance do happen. In this episode we will be talking about the steps that registered organisations should take when they identify non-compliance and how organisations can work with the regulator to resolve these issues. | — | ||||||
