Building Australia’s future

Education

From child care all the way through to uni and TAFE, we’re backing our next generation to set Australia up for the future.

We’ve made child care cheaper, we’ve guaranteed three days of child care subsidy for children who need it, and we’ll build new not-for-profit centres.

For the first time, every school in Australia will be fully funded.

We’ve introduced Free TAFE, and we’re rolling out a new $10,000 payment for construction and clean-energy apprentices.

And we’ll cut student debt and deliver paid prac – all to build Australia’s future by investing in education.

Better infrastructure

We’re making Australia’s cities, suburbs and regions even better places to live.

Across the country, we’re building roads and rail to connect communities and get you home sooner and safer.

And we’re building essential infrastructure for new homes, with an investment to build the water, power and roads communities need.

A future made in Australia

Making more things in Australia will create secure jobs and boost the economy.

We’ve set up the National Reconstruction Fund to invest in local manufacturing. We’re securing the future of Australian-made steel and aluminium, and ensuring our world-leading resources sector is seizing a new generation of opportunities in critical minerals.

And we’re investing to deliver a new generation of manufacturing jobs in our suburbs and regions, building clean energy technology like solar panels and batteries here.

Cheap, clean energy and our environment

Australians voted for real action on climate change, and for the thousands of renewable jobs that come with it.

We’ve put net zero into law. And we’re cutting emissions by 43% by 2030.

Already, we’ve approved enough renewable projects to power almost every home in the country. And we'll make home batteries cheaper, saving you thousands and slashing power bills.

Our plan is about cutting emissions – but it’s also about cheaper power, new jobs, and a stronger future for all Australians.

Building Australia’s future also means protecting what makes our country so special.

That’s why we’re also investing $1.2 billion to save the Great Barrier Reef, while protecting over 95 million more hectares of land and sea.

And we’re fixing Australia’s broken environment laws to deliver stronger environmental protection and restoration, as well as faster decision making for businesses.

Our place in the world

What happens in the world matters to Australians – for our economy and for our security.

One in four Australian jobs depend on trade with other nations. That’s why we’re working to boost trade, because when more Australian products are sold overseas, it means more jobs here at home.

We’re strengthening our defence capability and deepening relationships in our region. At a time of global uncertainty, it’s vital that we engage with the world to advance Australia’s interests.

With a seat at the table internationally, we can shape outcomes around the globe – the Australian way.

Integrity in politics

Before we were elected, every government in Australia had an independent corruption watchdog – except for our national government. It wasn’t good enough.

We promised to deliver a National Anti-Corruption Commission. And we delivered on that promise.

We’ve made significant reforms to restore trust and integrity to our national politics.

Strong economic management

Our economy is turning the corner – and we’ve done it without leaving people behind.

Inflation has halved. Interest rates have started to fall. Wages are growing faster than prices. And more than a million new jobs have been created. At the same time, we’ve delivered two budget surpluses.

With careful economic management, we’re helping Australians with the cost of living today and setting our country up for the future.
