Tax reform for workers, businesses and future generations
Problem being addressed
Younger Australians are finding it harder than earlier generations to build wealth and buy a home, as house prices have risen much faster than incomes. At the same time, tax concessions on asset income are adding to housing demand and can encourage speculation in existing dwellings, while also weakening the fairness and resilience of the tax system.

Private Health Insurance (PHI) is relied upon by 15.4 million people in Australia to help them access healthcare and contributes to the overall sustainability of the Australia’s health system. Strong PHI participation amongst the young and healthy, particularly given the increasing age of the population, facilitated through targeted incentives and consumer safeguards, is critical to PHI affordability and takes pressure off the public health system.
