The Hon Anika Wells MP

The Albanese Government is investing more than $2 million in the national rollout of AusBike so more children can enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of outdoor exercise.

The Albanese Government has provided almost half a million dollars to boost the program that uncovered Paralympic champions like Rowan Crothers and Paige Greco.

Several organisations, including Gymnastics Australia, have been declared participating institutions under the National Redress Scheme.

The Albanese Government is proud to announce one of Australia’s biggest comprehensive investments in women’s sports, with funding and reforms to help more women play sport, and ensure more Australians are able to cheer on our phenomenal sports stars on free-to-air television.

The Albanese Government is delivering on its commitment to put nurses back into nursing homes.

Australians now have a simple and efficient way to report food concerns in aged care, with the launch of a dedicated Food, Nutrition and Dining Unit hotline at the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.

I welcome Mr David Tune’s independent Capability Review of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. The full report is now available on the Department of Health and Aged Care’s website.

2,000 older people in Australia will now be able to access the Transition Care Programme (TCP) over the next two years, with the Albanese Government today announcing a $40 million investment to extend current temporary TCP places beyond 30 June 2023.
