We’ve added close to 500 new medicines to the PBS, helping more Australians get the treatment they need. And $25 is the most you’ll pay for life saving medicines on the PBS under Labor. Because in Australia, getting the best healthcare should never depend on your bank balance.

Katie-Marie is living with metastatic breast cancer. She said, “our lives are measured in between scans.” Now, we’ve cut the cost of a new breast cancer medicine from $1,370 to just $25. For Australians like Katie-Marie, access to affordable medicines can be life changing.

Australians know how important the PBS is. For patients like Katie-Marie, access to affordable medicines can be life changing.

One year ago, we introduced 5% deposits for all first home buyers. And the latest data shows 280,000 Australians have been supported through the 5% Deposit Scheme since Labor came to government in 2022, while saving $2.5 billion in mortgage insurance.

Labor’s EV policies have lead to an influx of affordable, cheaper-to-run EVs on the market, and Aussies are picking them up at a record rate. And it’s not just emissions that are reducing - switching to an EV can save families around $3000 every year.

Your time off should be your own. That’s why Labor made the right to disconnect law. Because someone who's not being paid 24 hours a day shouldn't be penalised if they're not online and available 24 hours a day. Now you're protected from unreasonable contact outside of work hours.

If you have to give up your nights, weekends and holidays, you deserve to be paid fairly for it. It's why 12 months ago, Labor passed new laws to protect penalty and overtime rates for 2.6 million workers. Those rates aren't a bonus - they pay the bills. Under Labor, they're here to stay.
