Tuesday's federal budget will include almost $354 million for women's health, with funding for conditions such as endometriosis and increased screening for breast and cervical cancers.

More than $100 million has been allocated to improving cervical and breast cancer screening programs

The federal government has been promising an increased focus on women in this year's economic blueprint. The funding boost, spread over four years, will also go towards improving access to mental health services for new and expectant mothers. "We are on track, by 2035, to be potentially the first country in the world to eliminate cervical cancer," Mr Hunt said, citing the widespread use of the Gardasil vaccine.

More than $47 million will go to services specialising in perinatal depression, and there is almost $27 million to combat eating disorders.

Meaning that they'll blow it all and double the debt again so they can blame labor WTF does that even mean? A drovers dog could run the Australian economy, but it takes the drunken sailors of the LNP to rack up a staggering $1Trillion debt!
