More cost of living help, including energy bill relief for every household and tax cuts for every taxpayer.
Easing cost-of-living pressures
Tax cuts for every Australian taxpayer
Labor's bigger and fairer tax cuts are helping Australians keep more of what they earn. So no-one gets left behind.
A re-elected Albanese Labor government will ensure that all 14 million Australian taxpayers will receive a tax cut, on top of the tax relief that's already rolling out.
And make the tax system simpler and deliver more cost-of-living relief by introducing a $1,000 instant tax deduction.
Energy bill relief
The Albanese Labor government is providing $300 energy bill relief for every Australian household.
Labor will provide more meaningful and sensible cost of living assistance, with an additional $150 in electricity bill rebates for every Australian household.
Strengthening Medicare
Federal Labor tripled the bulk billing incentive for people who need to see their GP most often - helping pensioners, concession cardholders, and families with children.
Labor has restored bulk billing for 11 million Australians, creating an additional 6 million bulk billed GP visits.
Labor will deliver the biggest ever boost to Medicare, delivering an additional 18 million bulk billed GP visits every year so Australians can see a bulk billing GP.
Cheaper medicines
By delivering the biggest ever reduction in the cost of PBS prescriptions and freezing the cost of PBS medicines, Albanese Labor is making hundreds of medicines cheaper for Australians.
And medicines will be made even cheaper, so the most you'll pay for a PBS medicine is just $25 a script.
More affordable housing
Labor is helping build more affordable, social and private rental housing.
With a re-elected Labor government, people will be able to buy a first home with just a 5% deposit without having to pay mortgage insurance. Labor will also invest $10 billion to build 100,000 new homes reserved for first home buyers.
Free TAFE
Labor's Free TAFE is changing lives. Labor is delivering close to 600,000 free TAFE places, helping Australians to gain skills and get ahead. Whether it's child care or cybersecurity, accounting or aged care – with TAFE, you can be trained without worrying about the cost.
Labor is helping Australians to gain skills and get ahead by making free TAFE permanent.
Cut student debt
Labor's has wiped $3 billion in student debt and fixed the way indexation is calculated on student debt, to help with the cost of degrees and the cost of living.
A re-elected Albanese Labor government will wipe 20% off everyone's student debt. Labor will also raise the repayment threshold and lower repayment rates to help Australians with the cost of living.
Cheaper child care
Labor's cheaper child care reforms have helped more than one million families with the cost of living. Cheaper child care is providing working families with more choice and helping children to access high quality early childhood education and care.
A re-elected Labor government will guarantee eligibility for 3 days of subsidised child care a week for children who need it, and will build more child care centres across Australia.
Real wage increases
With Labor, real wages are growing again. So Australians are keeping more of what they earn.
Not only have we seen three consecutive pay rises for Australian workers on awards, Labor has delivered pay rises for aged care and early childhood education and care workers.
And a re-elected Albanese Labor government will legislate to protect penalty rates in awards, ensuring the wages of around three million workers do not go backwards.
