Commonwealth Health and Aged Care Budget 2000-2001
The flagship of the 2000-2001 Federal Budget is the Regional Health Strategy : more doctors, better services. Supporting this major platform for regional and rural communities, is a range of innovative measures for all Australians including: preventing disease and illness; improving childhood health; strengthening the pharmaceutical system; and increasing support for our greatest health asset, Medicare.This is the third successful health Budget, completing a trilogy that began in 1998-99 with unprecedented reforms to private health insurance, followed by last year's major stake in medical research and now rural health - all three of which have revolutionised health care in Australia.
