Protecting Medicare

Protecting Medicare Main Image

Labor created Medicare, and Australians know we will always protect it.

With your support, we'll make the largest single investment in the history of medicare, investing $8.5 billion to improve bulk-billing.

We'll reduced the price of prescription medication from $42.50 to $25, and freeze concession rates at $7.70.

We'll open a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in our local area to provide bulk-billed care when your family needs it and take pressure off the emergency department at Blacktown Hospital.

And we'll deliver $120 million for maternity ward at Rouse Hill.
