The PM has recently announced an historic skills package to make sure Australians have the training that will lead to a job. A package that will guarantee every Australian a training place, and access to income contingent loans to help meet the up front costs of study. As well as bringing the budget back into the black, we are always deeply committed to ensuring as many people as possible enjoy the opportunities, benefits and dignity of work. As I said earlier, the evidence tells us that all governments need to lift their investment in disability support services. We’ve shown with our investment that we are prepared to do the heavy lifting to get the NDIS started, but we’ll also be looking to the States to lift their game as well.
We also recognise that part of the reason people don’t want to go into an aged care home is that they’re worried about quality. And we know that hard-working, dedicated aged care workers and nurses are the cornerstone of delivering high quality aged care. So we’re making a $1.2 billion investment in a Workforce Compact that will deliver wage increases; better training and education; and better career development opportunities for the roughly 300,000 aged care workers around the country.
In many ways, this Budget delivers on the values that I’ve been fighting for my entire working life. Learn more about Animal Welfare Laws or head to our action page to voice your concerns about animal welfare issues in Australia. Together, we can build a system that reflects our values– one that treats animals with the dignity and respect they deserve. We commissioned Dr Craig Emerson to review the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct to ensure it’s protecting suppliers and encouraging a competitive grocery sector that delivers a fair deal for Australians. WA Health employers breach the AMA (WA) Agreement and legal provisions by failing to recognise accrued entitlements when DiTs transition to senior doctor classifications. No other WA public sector worker loses their accrued entitlements upon promotion.Restricted access to leave is a systemic issue for DiTs and is recognised as strongly influencing employee health, wellbeing and burnout.
We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging. There is a clear danger in continuing to define ethnic communities as homogenous, and ignoring differences within communities. The research identified differences between and within language groups; for example, different experiences of settlement between groups.
The ACCC acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands across Australia on which we live and work. We acknowledge their connection to this Country and pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging. The ACCC is seeking feedback on the impacts of the interim authorisation and the draft determination proposing to authorise the scheme for five years.

The Fair Go for Animals campaign outlines six key reforms to build a governance system that prioritises animal welfare. We acknowledge the Dharug and GuriNgai people, the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live. We pay our deep respect to Elders past and present and acknowledge and support their intrinsic continuing connection of cultural, spiritual, and education practices on these lands. In the spirit of reconciliation, Humane World for Animals Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay respect to their elders past and present and extend that to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today.
