The Victorian State Budget 2024-25 has been labelled by Treasurer Tim Pallas as a budget led by making "sensible decisions", with only a handful of winners coming out on top.
Unlike previous years, there have not been any "big ticket" items such as significant investments in infrastructure or health, however, there is a one-off payment that families can access that will assist with education. A further $6 million will be invested to extend the Get Active Kids Vouchers, which help cover the cost of kids playing sports. Eligible parents will have access to vouchers up to $200.
This will include $42 million for perpetrator case management and $39 million for the continuation of the government's Respectful Relationship programs, which focus on preventing violence.There will no longer be a hospital built as part of the Ardern Precinct, with the government citing that the location was no longer suitable, due to the cost and feasibility of the build. Instead, there will be the redevelopment of the Parkville Precinct.
