Labor scraps $5,000 limit on veterans' allied health care

Veterans' Affairs Minister Matt Keogh says Labor will ditch its proposed $5,000 annual limit on veterans' allied health services, due 1 July 2027. Keogh cites veteran concerns since the May budget. The government says it wanted to cut GP referrals. Veterans heard rationing. Hard to blame them — a limit needing an application looks like a cap.
