The Federal Government has handed down its 2016 Budget this week. How did the health industry fare? You can see all the details on the Government's Department of Health website, Health Budget 2106-17, with links to fact sheets directed to various stakeholders, such as hospitals, public health, sport, aged care, dental and so on.
The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet has published Information of relevance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health with a comprehensive set of links to parts of the budget which have implications for indigenous health.
Jennifer Doggett from Croakey has very usefully collated responses to the budget from key health groups in Health budget 2016 - the reaction. Groups such as the AMA, World Vision, PHAA, NRHA, Alzheimer's Australia and many others all provide their summation of how this budget will affect the people they represent.
Other media coverage include The Conversation's Federal budget 2016: health experts react, compiled by various health academics and Stephen Duckett from the Grattan Institute. The ABC has a useful interactive graphic of the changes in funding and projections for the future in their article by Sophie Scott, Budget 2016: Medicare Benefits Schedule overhauled.
