Overview
Our competition law team has a wide range of experience in the healthcare industry, and has acted for participants in the private hospital, pathology, diagnostic imaging and private health insurance sectors.
For example, we have provided advice in relation to a number of merger clearances in the healthcare industry, particularly in the areas of private hospitals and diagnostics. We also assisted a group of private hospital operators to obtain a ‘collective bargaining’ authorisation from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to facilitate their negotiations with health funds. We are currently assisting a learned specialist college with a complex authorisation matter.
In addition, the team has the full range of expertise and experience in all aspects of competition law, ranging from strategic advice, through formal and informal dealings with the ACCC to enforcement in the courts.
More information on our competition expertise is available in the Competition Law section of our website.
