N2  - From 1992 to 1999, the Kennett government in Victoria moved to competitive market models of service delivery andthe measurement of service provision through casemix funding. Public hospital managers were given greateraccountability for the costs and provision of service delivery and a new range of service providers, many from theprivate sector, entered the public health market. The decentralisation of the industrial relations system led to newdevelopments in bargaining that brought both opportunities and problems. In the Victorian public health system therewas an increasing emphasis on decentralisation in both service provision and employment relations. In this paper Isuggest that there were contradictions in these developments for government, and new challenges and difficulties foremployers, employees and trade unions.
