Those opposite are laughing for some reason about the fact that we're really standing up universal health care in this country. Unbelievable.

Michelle, though, was able to get a diagnosis and get treated. She was really grateful to be able to see a doctor in person so promptly. She said she was thankful to the urgent care clinic for making her life easier. Her appointment was fully bulk-billed. I know what a positive impact this urgent care clinic will continue to have for our community in Chisholm and for people just like Michelle.

The Albanese Labor government is working hard to strengthen Medicare and keep the cost of medicines down. We are freezing the cost of PBS prescriptions. We will always fight—and I will always fight—for affordable, accessible, quality health care for people in our Chisholm community.
