Without losing much time, and with very little community or parliamentary debate, both the Public Sector Management Act 1992 (Vic) and the Employee Relations Act 1992 (Vic) were passed. These pieces of legislation have been the main instruments to regulate terms and conditions of employment for employees in the Victorian public service. Changes to the legislation will be examined in this paper and discussed in the context of whether a paradigm shift has occurred in managing employee relations in the Victorian public service. - Reproduced Civil service Backwell, Jim Australian Journal of Public Administration 39729 39729 39729 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 57, Issue no: 2 AR40097 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
