Veterans Demand PM Meeting Over Health Cap | Australia News

Veterans are demanding a face-to-face meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese over a controversial new $5,000 cap on allied health services set to take effect in July 2027, calling it a dangerous step backward that ignores their needs and disregards the Royal Commission’s recommendations. Frustration mounts after Veterans Affairs Minister Matt Keogh missed an initial meeting and only met later with a Coalition delegation — not the top leadership they’re seeking. Opposition leaders are urging Albanese to intervene, while the government insists the policy aims to improve access and reduce out-of-pocket costs for veterans.
