The NSW Government is committed to relieving cost of living pressures and making it easier for people to access financial support.
We are investing to support you and your family, with measures including:
- Bulk Billing Incentive: Investing $189 million to increase bulk billing so that you and your family can get better access to the healthcare that you need.

- Rental reform: Making renting fairer in NSW by introducing new laws to end no-grounds evictions, delivering a new portable bonds scheme, banning fees for background checks, making sure that tenants have a free way to pay rent and making it easier for tenants to have pets in rentals.
