Australia has a proud history of universal healthcare and continues to expand services to provide for people in need; healthcare is also one of the government’s largest budget items.
The Australian Federal Budget 2020 is due Tues 6 Oct 2020.
The Fed Govt provides ~45% of total Australian healthcare spending & up to 90% of the funding for domestic medical service (ie. GPs, Pathology). The Budget was scheduled for May-20 but was delayed due to CV19. Normally early-term Budgets (this is 1st post May-19 Coalition election win) are renowned for being austere, but it could be that Budget 2020 will set the framework for a longer term CV19 recovery & contain spending initiatives.
The Post Budget Health Briefing is a tradition that enables critical stakeholders in the sector to engage directly with the Minister for Health in the days following the annual budget, providing key insights into the future of Australia’s healthcare system.
