 (a) an employee and employer that are covered by the modern award;

 (b) an organisation that is entitled to represent the industrial interests of one or more employees or employers that are covered by the award;

Note: See subsection (3) for when the default fund term may specify more than 10 superannuation funds.

 (a) it is on the Default Superannuation List; and

 (i) any submissions that were made in relation to the default fund term of the award; and

 (ii) any other matter the FWC considers relevant.

 (3) The default fund term may specify more than 10 superannuation funds in relation to generic MySuper products that satisfy the second stage test if, taking into account the range of occupations of employees covered by the modern award, the FWC is satisfied it is warranted.
