Help Us Axe the Tax on Essential Healthcare:

Did you know some essential allied health services, including Exercise Physiology, still attract GST, adding an extra 10% cost to care? That’s a tax on preventive healthcare and chronic disease support that many Australians rely on.

At Healthy Lifestyles Australia, we believe access to healthcare should be easier, not more expensive.

We’re supporting the Axe the Tax on Essential Healthcare campaign and inviting our clients, families and community to help by signing this petition.

✍️ It only takes a minute to add your voice:
https://gst.good.do/axethetax/axe-the-tax-on-essential-healthcare/

Every signature helps send a message that essential healthcare should be affordable and accessible for all, especially for those managing chronic conditions and those in rural and regional communities.

If you believe preventive healthcare matters, please sign and share 💙
