Section 789DAFair Work Act 2009 (Cth)

Regulations may provide for a code

For the purpose of furthering the objects of this Part, the regulations may prescribe a code (the TCF outwork code) dealing with standards of conduct and practice to be complied with in relation to any of the following:

(a) the employment or engagement of TCF outworkers;

(b) arranging for TCF work to be performed, if the work:

(i) is to be performed by TCF outworkers; or

(ii) is of a kind that is often performed by TCF outworkers;

(c) the sale of goods produced by TCF work.

Note 1: In situations where there is a chain or series of arrangements for the supply or production of goods, the TCF outwork code may (subject to section 789DC) impose obligations on any persons that are parties to arrangements in that chain or series.

Note 2: References in other provisions to “this Act” include the code, because the code is in the regulations and is therefore within the definition of this Act in section 12.
