Australians are under pressure. Taking that pressure off has been the focus of every Budget we’ve put together.
Budget 2024 secures a tax cut for every Australian taxpayer and delivers $300 off energy bills for every household.
Education changes lives, and we’re investing in it.
We’re wiping $3 billion of student debt, and introducing prac payments for nursing, teaching, midwifery and social work students.
We need to build more homes for Australians to live in.
Our Budget invests billions to do just that, and we’re boosting fee-free TAFE to train more tradies to build them.
Gender equality has always been central to our plans, and it’s right at the heart of this Budget.
For the first time, we’ll pay superannuation on government paid parental leave.
We’re permanently establishing the Leaving Violence Payment.
And we’re directing $1 billion towards crisis and transitional accommodation.
We’re also delivering more support for women’s health - because it deserves to be taken seriously.
And we’re continuing to help Australians get the health care they need, without worrying about the cost.
Our free Medicare Urgent Care Clinics have made a big difference already, so we’re opening 29 more.
And we’re freezing the cost of PBS medicines for a year.
Our third Budget continues to take action on the cost of living while setting Australia up for the opportunities of the future.
We’re investing to make more things in Australia, to create secure jobs in our suburbs and regions.
This is a Budget for every Australian, in every part of the country.
