Delivering cleaner, cheaper reliable energy to Victoria and SA
The Australian Government's reliable renewable plan is backing six large-scale batteries for Victoria and South Australia that will deliver enough clean, cheap and reliable renewable energy to power one million homes from 2027, said Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen, Victorian Minster for Energy and Resources Lily D'Ambrosio and SA Minister for Energy and Mining Tom Koutsantoni. The batteries selected for federal funding support can run for up to four hours, delivering a reliable flow of clean energy whenever needed, including by storing cheap, plentiful, rooftop and large-scale solar power generated during daylight hours. The selected projects are being announced after a hugely successful pilot tender.

The NSW Government's $189 million Bulk-Billing Support Initiative has commenced, helping ensure the cost of seeing a GP remains accessible for families and households across NSW, said Minister for Health Ryan Park and Minister for Finance Courtney Houssos. Introduced in the 2024/25 NSW Budget, the program protects bulk-billing for people needing a GP and reduces the strain on our emergency departments. The package provides a new, ongoing payroll rebate to clinics for contractor GPs that meet the bulk-billing thresholds of 80% of services in metropolitan Sydney, and 70% in the rest of NSW.
