The Australian state of Victoria will invest $12 billion (US$8.5 billion) to improve its health system as part of the 2022-2023 state budget.

Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas made the announcement as part of the state government’s eighth budget titled Putting Patients First on May 3. He said it would provide extra help to the state’s healthcare employees, with hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent on nurses, paramedics, emergency call-takers and elective surgery.
