The Government has invested a further $540 million in response to the COVID 19 pandemic including significant funding to keep Australians safe, and for COVID-19 testing. Minister for Health and Aged Care, Greg Hunt, said the significant investment in health has saved the lives of thousands of Australians who would have died of COVID-19. "Over the past two years, health has been a focus of the entire Australian population, and the measures we have put in place have helped ensure Australia has one of the lowest mortality rates and highest COVID-19 vaccination rates in the world," Minister Hunt said. "Compared to the average of the OECD, our actions have helped save approximately 30,000 lives, compared to the United States and the United Kingdom, we have saved approximately 45,000 lives."

The Government has released draft legislation on the reinsurance pool for cyclones and related flood damage. Assistant Treasurer Michael Sukkar said the pool will improve the accessibility and affordability of insurance for households and small businesses in cyclone-prone areas across Australia. It is also expected to increase insurer participation in the northern Australian market, increasing competition and putting further downward pressure on premiums. The reinsurance pool will be backed by a $10 billion Government guarantee and commence on 1 July 2022 for residential, strata, and small business property insurance policies. Coverage for small business marine property insurance policies will be further developed and included from 1 July 2023.

Australia's world leading voluntary offset scheme, the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF), continues to go from strength to strength. Around one in six of the ERF's 1,074 projects were registered this year, as the Government's commitment to developing new methods and increasing supply stimulates private sector activity. Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction Angus Taylor said the ERF was an essential part of the Government's Long Term Emissions Reduction Plan. "Our Plan backs technology not taxes, and choices not mandates," Minister Taylor said.
