Prime Minister Albanese has just confirmed his new Ministry for the start of his second term in office.
In big news for the healthcare sector, Minister Mark Butler’s portfolio has significantly expanded, with the new title of Minister for Health and ageing, Minister for Disability and the NDIS.
Minister Emma McBride also returns as the Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, as well as the Assistant Minister for Rural and Regional Health.
Newly elected Tasmanian MP Rebecca White, the former Tasmanian Labor leader, enters the healthcare portfolio as the Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, Assistant Minister for Indigenous Health and Assistant Minister for Women.
Sam Rae MP enters the outer ministry as the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors.
The Member for Hunter, Dan Repacholi MP also becomes the Special Envoy for Men’s Health.
In other portfolios, Senator Tim Ayres enters the Ministry as the Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science.
With these changes, the Prime Minister can hopefully put the factional infighting behind him and renew Labor’s focus on delivering the healthcare promises that helped to propel him to a second term in The Lodge.
