Australians could soon access free, expert health advice at all hours of the day, as Labor champions Medicare in one of its final campaign pushes. If his party is re-elected, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will commit $204.5 million to launch 1800MEDICARE, a 24/7 nation-wide health advice and after-hours GP telehealth service backed by Medicare.
