I can confirm that the powers are general powers to be able to correct things such as you have described. For example, Fair Work Australia will be able to vary an application to ensure that employer names are correctly identified if the applicant is not able to do this and can only specify the trading name. These are general powers that are usually held by bodies such as the AIRC and Fair Work Australia—being able to correct things, effectively so that they do not fall out of the system because of a mistake in a name.
