Campaign Win! Cuts to community and women’s health stopped!
In early 2013 Colleen Hartland launched a campaign, including a petition, calling on the Napthine Government to stop the proposed cuts to community and women’s health services in the State Budget.
Thanks to the hundreds of people that signed this petition, last week’s budget has returned $23 million in funding to community and women’s health!

Prevention is better than cure - stop the budget cuts to community health
Prevention is the best cure for sickness, and prevention is exactly what Community and Women's Health Care does.
Community and Women's Health Care provides crucial preventative health services that keep people off hospital waiting lists and living productive lives in the community. They run programs aimed at addressing the root causes of health problems like diabetes, heart disease, childhood obesity, family violence and depression.
Under Ted Baillieu, the Government cut almost $32 million from community health care funding, with the main cut being phased in over two years. The first year of cuts hit hard. If the second year of planned cuts go ahead, many community and women’s health programs will be rolled back.

Victoria's public TAFE system reeling
The Greens support a well funded quality public TAFE system.
Our proven and respected public TAFEs were built up over decades with taxpayer's money and have educated hundreds of thousands of Victorians based on the principle of affordable and accessible training for all.
Chronic under-funding from the previous government has seen Victoria's TAFE system become the lowest funded TAFE system in Australia.
