2021 Federal Budget: What it means for you Tuesday, 11 May 2021
Coming off one of the most expensive policy years in the country’s history, the government unveiled its 2021-22 Federal Budget today, detailing its spending plans for health, infrastructure, housing and more.
The “pandemic budget,” as it’s been called by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, hopes to give Australia’s economic recovery efforts a shot in the arm, boost productivity, and finally bring unemployment below 5 per cent.
There s already plenty of debate about whether it will be sufficient, but there’s no denying the measures outlined today are ambitious. Below, we run through some of the main areas the government will be focusing on.

The Morrison Government is investing $353.9 million over the next four years as part of the 2021-22 Budget to support women’s health, including funding for cervical and breast cancer, endometriosis and reproductive health.
This significant investment builds on our Government’s commitment to implementing the five priority areas of the National Women’s Health Strategy 2020-2030 and improving long term health outcomes for women and girls.
Key investment measures include:
$100.4 million for improvements to cervical and breast cancer screening programs which will help detect these life-threatening cancers earlier, improving survival rates.
