I am proud to be a member of this Labor government that is united and getting on with the job of delivering for all Australians. Since the start of this year alone, we've launched 1800MEDICARE, where you can get 24/7 free health advice from a registered nurse. We've rolled out our cheaper medicines. Scripts are now capped at $25 or $7.70 with a concession card. We have delivered a huge funding boost for hospitals across the country. We're rolling out historic women's health packages which deliver more choice, lower costs and better health care for all women at all stages of their lives. Yaz, Yasmin and EstroGel are now on the PBS, and we've opened new pelvic pain clinics across the country. We've also opened new urgent care clinics around Australia, including one in Kelvin Grove in the heart of the Brisbane electorate, and we're making sure that people get access to mental health support when they need it the most, including, again, in Brisbane where we opened a new Medicare mental health centre in Lutwyche last year.

But there's always more work to do, and our track record speaks for itself. Australians can rely on this government to deliver. Access to affordable health care closer to home was what we promised and is what we are delivering. This is what strong and united government looks like.
