It's another cost of living relief measure parents can rely on to ensure their child gets the best start to their learning journey. We promised it before the election and we’re proud to deliver it for families across our State.

These are patients who are clinically ready to leave hospital but can’t, due to the Commonwealth Government failing to support them.
