The Hancock Report was a report on the Australian system of industrial relations system by the central government compiled by Keith Hancock. The report argued for a centralised industrial relations system centred on award and argued against decentralisation and enterprise bargaining.[1] The report's findings were handed down in 1985 and started a long debate over industrial relations in Australia.[1][2] Most of the report's recommendations were implemented in the Industrial Relations Bill 1987 (later reintroduced with minimal changes as the Industrial Relations Bill 1988).[2]
The Hancock Report's findings also led to the formation of the H.R. Nicholls Society, an industrial relations think tank strongly in favour of deregulation and decentralisation.
