HEALTHCARE

Labor built Medicare.

Only Labor will protect it.

A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will make the biggest investment in Medicare’s history.

  • $8.5 billion to make 9 out of 10 GP visits free by 2030, hundreds of nursing scholarships and thousands more doctors.
  • 50 more bulk-billed Medicare Urgent Care Clinics. We’ve already delivered 87 – including one right here in Isaacs in Dandenong South.
  • $793 million for women’s health including endometriosis, pelvic pain & menopause clinics, cheaper contraceptives and hormone therapy.

Peter Dutton is not on the side of Medicare and never has been. Australia’s doctors voted him the worst Health Minister since Medicare was created.

As Health Minister, Peter Dutton said there were “too many free Medicare services”.

At this election Australia faces a choice: a stronger Medicare with more bulk billing for all Australians under Labor, or more cuts to Medicare under Peter Dutton’s Liberals.
