The Albanese government looks forward to working with the government of Tasmania, pending the outcome of the election that's underway, when that occurs. We will work together on health. We will work together on health infrastructure. We will work together on Medicare urgent care clinics. We will work together on workforce, which has been an issue in Tasmania—access to specialists, particularly access to primary care, to GPs, to new models of care. These are all things that the minister for health will work on with whoever is the health minister.

If there are particular policies that have been made by either side through the election campaign, the Commonwealth remains open and prepared to engage on all of those matters should they improve health service delivery in Tasmania.
