We're setting up a new Fair Work Court to help workers get what they're owed sooner.
BREAKING NEWS: Labor’s expanding paid prac to student paramedics, pharmacists, psychs and more.
From July, minimum and award wage workers got a pay rise of at least 4.75%. That means Australia's lowest paid workers are taking home $12,000 more a year since Labor was elected. And with our five tax cuts, if you're on an average income you'll be up to $2,800 better off each year.
Labor's opened 137 Urgent Care Clinics across Australia. 💚 Just walk in, show your Medicare card and get the care you need. That's it. 🤝
For years, UberEats and DoorDash have paid drivers less than the minimum wage. The law let them get away with it. That's not fair. So, we've changed it.

On this day in 1916, Australia's 21st Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was born. Happy Birthday, Gough – you are missed, but your legacy persists in universal healthcare, a robust social safety net, the Racial Discrimination Act, rights for women, land rights for First Australians, and more.
Those first few months with your new baby are so important. It's why Labor’s extended paid parental leave to a full six months. And we've started paying super on top of it for the first time ever, because starting a family shouldn't mean more financial stress in retirement.
Labor has opened 137 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics. And from 1 July they are now a permanent part of Medicare.
Helping Australians with the cost of living is our number one priority.
Good luck to our Socceroos in their match against Egypt! 💚 💛 🇦🇺 ⚽

We backed an increase in the minimum wage. Today, 3 million workers are getting a pay rise.
On this day in 1975, Labor established Medibank and universal healthcare, to ensure that no one would go bankrupt over a medical bill. The Liberals undermined and then abolished it. Which led to Labor, under Hawke, establishing Medicare.
The Albanese Labor Government has now delivered every free Medicare Urgent Care Clinic we promised. Walk in and get the care you need, without worrying about the cost.
The system isn't working for a lot of people. That's why we're acting to fix it.
When all you need is your Medicare card. 💳✨ Walk into one of Labor's 137 Urgent Care Clinics across Australia to get the care you need, for free 💚
Because every Australian should have access to free, quality healthcare close to home.
We're delivering real change with more tax cuts and a fair go for young first home buyers.
