Public health and mental health advocates from Victoria have criticised the distribution of federal funding for healthcare across Australia and in Victoria as part of the 2022/23 federal budget announced on Mar. 29.

“The Commonwealth Government has failed to deliver fairer funding to Victorian public hospitals and address workforce shortages at a critical moment during the pandemic,” read the statement released by the Victorian Health Association (VHA).
