Currently, Australians are feeling the pinch of high living costs, but the Allan Labor Government is stepping in with substantial assistance.

From assisting renters, parents, and seniors to supporting the youngest members of society in Victoria, we're actively reducing expenses at every life stage. Initiatives like Free Kinder and Free TAFE, along with measures such as curbing rent hikes and issuing the Victorian Veterans Card, are part of our comprehensive strategy.

We're also implementing lower V/Line fares, discounted utilities, and programs like School Breakfast Clubs and Smile Squads. By offering both significant and subtle forms of aid, we're making a tangible difference because every bit counts.

The Allan Labor Government is committed to investing in the future of every Victorian family. Whether it's constructing and enhancing educational and healthcare facilities or undertaking infrastructure projects to improve transportation, we're dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for families statewide. However, as the cost of living continues to rise, families are feeling the strain. That's why we're providing tangible support to alleviate financial pressure on household budgets such as:

• Free Kinder initiative saves families up to $2,500 per child annually
• Free nursing and midwifery, free teaching and free TAFE
• Get Active Kids Vouchers
• Free car rego for apprentices 
• Cap regional public transport fares ensure more money stays in the pockets of local families.
• Free dental care through Smile Squads

We're committed to helping Victorian families save money, recognizing that every saving contributes to a brighter future.

In addition to supporting families, we're also dedicated to assisting older Victorians who have made significant contributions to our state.

• Our Seniors Card program offers discounts on public transport, fuel, and groceries, providing much-needed financial relief.
• Initiatives like the Energy Bill Relief Fund and the Victorian Veterans Card aim to ease the financial burden on seniors and veterans, acknowledging their invaluable service to our community.

As we continue to invest in programs that prioritize respect and dignity for older Victorians, we're committed to ensuring they receive the support they deserve.

Every Victorian deserves access to affordable housing and the stability it provides. Recognising the challenges renters face in today's market, we're implementing measures to increase housing supply and strengthen tenant protections. By closing loopholes that drive up living costs and providing tenants with greater security over their leases, we're working to create a fairer rental market.

Initiatives like:

• restricting rent increases
• introducing a portable rental bond scheme aim to empower renters and make a meaningful difference in their lives.

We're committed to helping Victorian renters save money and achieve greater financial stability because every step toward affordability matters.

We're helping Victorians save in big ways and in small because it all adds up.
