        4.   If a term in this agreement provides for the introduction of a major workplace change in relation to the enterprise of the employer, the requirements to consult contained in clauses (3) to (9) are taken not to apply.
        5.   In this term, a major workplace change is "likely to have a significant effect on employees" if it results in:

            2.       major change in the composition, operation or size of the employer's workforce or to the skills required of employees; or
            3.       the loss of, or reduction in, job or promotion opportunities; or
            4.       the loss of, or reduction in, job tenure or job security; or
            5.       the alteration of hours of work; or
            6.        the need for employees to be retrained or transferred to other work or locations; or
            7.       job restructuring.

        1.   For a change referred to in subclause (1)(b):
            1.       the employer must notify the relevant employees and their representatives (if any) in writing of the proposed change; and
            2.       subclauses (13) to (18) apply.
        1.   The relevant employee or employees may advise the employer that a person or employee organisation is their representative for the purposes of the procedures in this clause in relation to changes to regular rosters or ordinary hours of work.
        2.   If:
            1.       a relevant employee, or the relevant employees, advise the employer that a person or employee organisation is their representative for the purposes of consultation; and
            2.       the employee or employees advise the employer of the identity of the representative;

    the employer must recognise the representative.

        1.   As soon as practicable after proposing to introduce the change, the employer must:
            1.       consult with the relevant employees and their representatives (if any) about the introduction of the change, including by discussing the change with them; and
            2.       for the purposes of the consultation—provide to the relevant employees and their representatives (if any):
                1.        all relevant information about the change, including the nature and expected duration of the change; and
                2.      information about what the employer reasonably believes will be the effects of the change on the employees (including any effect on the employee's remuneration); and
                3.    information about any other matters that the employer reasonably believes are likely to affect the employees; and
            1.            invite the relevant employees and their representatives (if any) to give their views about the impact of the change (including any impact in relation to their family or caring responsibilities).
        1.   However, the employer
