Section 84A requires that trade unions give notice to its members of their right to opt-out of contributing to the union’s political fund within eight weeks from the day a political resolution is passed, and then every ten years.
	Subsection (1) specifies when the opt-out reminder must be given to each member: (a) within eight weeks beginning with the day after which a political resolution was passed by members under section 73; and (b) within the eight weeks that succeed the ten year anniversary of the day after which a political resolution was passed, and each successive period of ten years after this date, unless the political resolution is rescinded or ceases to have an effect.
	Subsection (2) defines what an "opt-out information notice" is and specifies what must be stated in it. Members must be informed: (a) of their right to not contribute their union’s political fund; and (b) that they can provide an opt-out notice to exercise this right.
	Subsection (3) specifies that opt-out information notices must be provided to members in accordance with the rules of the union approved for that purpose by the Certification Officer.
	Subsection (4) requires that the Certification Officer has regard to the existing practice and character of a union when approving the rules required under Subsection (3).
	Subsection (5) specifies the information that a union is required to provide to the Certification Officer at the end of the eight-week period in which an opt-out information notice is to be sent to members: (a) a copy of the opt-out information notice; or (b) if a union is issuing multiple forms of an opt-out information notice, each form of the notice.
	Subsection (6) allows a trade union member to make a complaint to the Certification Officer if they believe that a union has not complied with its obligations under Section 84A.
	Subsection (7) enables the Certification Officer, where they are satisfied on a complaint under Subsection (6) that the trade union has failed to comply with section 84A, to make an order remedying the failure as the Certification Officer thinks just under the circumstances.
	Subsection (8) outlines the Certification Officer’s investigatory capacities when considering a complaint made under Subsection (6): (a) allows the Certification Officer to make any enquiries as its sees fit; (b) requires the Certification Officer to provide both the union and the member involved in the complaint an opportunity to make a written representation; (c) also allows the Certification Officer to provide both the union and the member involved in the complaint an opportunity to make an oral representation.
	Subsection (9) states that an order made by the Certification Officer against a union under Section 84A can be enforced in the same way as an order of the court.
