Starting 1 July 2026, the Albanese Labor Government is:

• Giving every taxpayer another tax cut, as part of our plan to deliver a series of five tax cuts and ultimately save the average worker up to $2800 a year.
• Expanding Paid Parental Leave to a full six months, helping new parents spend more time at home with their newest family member.
• Backing minimum wage and award wages increases, to boost the pay of 3 million workers.
• Permanently extending the $20,000 instant asset write-off for small business.
• Banning supermarket price gouging with a new mandatory Food and Grocery Code that prohibits very large retailers from charging prices that are significantly excessive.
• Making Medicare Urgent Care Clinics a permanent part of Australia’s health system, to help deliver patients the best care and take pressure off hospitals.
• Injecting an additional $25 billion into public hospitals, to help states deliver care.
• Expanding services at our Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinics to include menopause and perimenopause.
• Improving patient outcomes by requiring pathology and diagnostic imaging providers to upload test results to My Health Record.
• Opening a new National Environmental Protection Agency, the first in Australia’s history.
• Setting up a new Veteran Wellbeing Agency, to improve outcomes, access and wellbeing.
• Introducing payday super, so workers start earning returns sooner and reducing the chances super will go unpaid.

The Albanese Labor Government will keep working to deliver more cost-of-living help and build a more productive economy, a better tax system, and a fairer housing market to help Australians.
