I'd refer to section 891 in the explanatory memorandum:

The supported bargaining process would operate similarly to the existing low-paid bargaining process. When an application for a supported bargaining authorisation is made, the FWC must consider whether it is appropriate for the parties to bargain together. The FWC would consider the prevailing pay and conditions in the relevant industry, whether employers have clearly identifiable common interests, and whether the number of bargaining representatives would be consistent with a manageable collective bargaining process. The supported bargaining stream is intended to be easier to access than the existing low-paid bargaining stream. The revised criteria for making a supported bargaining authorisation is intended to address the limited take-up of the low-paid bargaining process.

That refers to the process that exists currently.
