📣 Public Cervix Announcement!

Labor is investing in women’s health to deliver more choice, lower costs, and better health care.

What does this mean for women across Australia?

Half a billion dollars on the table for health with a re-elected Labor Government delivering more:

💜 Medicare support for women experiencing menopause, like a new Medicare rebate for menopause health assessments

💜 Endometriosis and pelvic pain clinics

💜 Choices for affordable contraceptives, with larger Medicare payments and bulk-billing for IUDs and birth control implants

Some of our changes are rolling out NOW like:

✅ The first PBS listing for new oral contraceptive pills in more than 30 years

✅ The first PBS listing for new menopausal hormone therapies in over 20 years

Saving almost 200,000 women hundreds of dollars each year.

Our investment in women’s health is about more than cutting costs.

It means removing stigma and listening to women across Australia who have demanded better from the Australian healthcare system.

Labor is listening and we will keep working to build Australia’s future.
