    A failed innovation?: General practitioners in community health centres
    Payne, Lorna ( 1993)
    This paper seeks to examine central policy and practice issues arising out of the presence of doctors in community health centres.

Integral to it was the presence of G.P.'s working from community health centres. The research aims at discovering whether or not community health has successfully incorporated G.P.'s into the program. (From Introduction)

    Aumair, Megan ( 1995)
    Between 1992 and 1993 the Victorian State Government announced the closure or amalgamation of more than 255 publicly funded schools around the state (Parents & Friends, 1993; Marginson, 1994: 47).

Coburg North Secondary College (here on referred to as Coburg Tech) was one of these schools.
