Initial breakdown from the new government’s first federal Budget. This article outlines some of the key components impacting the areas of healthcare, families & individuals, and small business from the October 22-23 Budget.

In its 2022-23 Pre-Budget Submission to the Federal Government Osteopathy Australia called for various budget measures to support greater access to osteopathic services and allied health more broadly.
The team attended the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee budget estimates. Several relevant topics for osteopaths were discussed, including disability funding, financial challenges for allied health professionals, and aged care and hospital support investments.
We made key recommendations to Treasury NSW for the improvement of the delivery of effective Primary Health Care (PHC), and specifically osteopathic care.
