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've reduced the prices of prescription medication from $42.50 to $31.60, and frozen concession rates at $7.70.

And we'll open a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in our local area to provide bulk-billed care when your family needs it.
