The 2017-18 ACT Budget invests in the things that matter most to Canberrans to deliver an even better Canberra.
The Government went to the last election with a positive plan for renewal right across our city and suburbs. This Budget starts delivering it.
With this Budget, the ACT Government is delivering better schools for our kids. Our $210 million new investment in local schools comes on top of the $1.2 billion we deliver for our schools each year.
Whether it’s for a routine check-up, a sudden broken bone, a much-anticipated birth or a chronic illness, the ACT Government is committed to delivering better care when you need it.
Canberra is a great place to live, work and raise a family. This Budget will make it even better by delivering the infrastructure to keep our city moving and investing in our public spaces and places.
With this Budget, the ACT Government is investing in local services because we know these basics are important for keeping our city liveable and looking its best.
One of this Government’s proudest achievements is that we have got unemployment down and kept it there. The 2017-18 Budget continues to invest in growing and diversifying Canberra’s economy to create more and better jobs.
This Budget continues our strong investment in services and support for vulnerable Canberrans, including children and young people, those experiencing homelessness and those affected by family violence.
