💸 Massive Cost-of-Living Relief is Here! 🇦🇺
Millions of Aussies are set to feel the pressure ease as the re-elected Labor government rolls out billions in financial support to tackle rising living costs. Here's what’s in store:
🔹 Tax Cuts
Bigger tax cuts for those earning under $150K, and the bottom tax rate drops to 14% by 2027 — more money stays in your pocket.
🎓 HECS/HELP Debt Relief
20% of student debts will be wiped from June 1, 2025, and the repayment threshold jumps to $67K, making it easier for graduates to breathe.
🏥 Medicare Boost
$8.5 billion is being poured into bulk billing, urgent care clinics, telehealth, and cheaper medicines to improve healthcare access.
⚡ Energy Bill Support
Every household will receive a $150 energy rebate to help manage soaring power bills.
🏠 Affordable Housing Push
$9.2 billion is going towards social and affordable housing, plus a boost to the Help to Buy scheme so more Aussies can get on the property ladder.
🎓 Free TAFE & Childcare Support
Fee-free TAFE is here to stay, and the childcare activity test will be scrapped, giving families better access to support.
💵 Wage Boosts
Aged care workers will receive a 12% pay rise, and the minimum wage could increase above inflation — it’s a win for workers.
💬 This is more than a budget — it’s real help for real Australians.
