It's not time to slow down. It's time to build on our state's momentum.
Right now, our state has momentum. We’ve built the country’s strongest economy. More South Australians have jobs than ever before. But it’s more than numbers. You can feel the energy. We’re being noticed. And now, together, we have the opportunity to turn this momentum into lasting progress, and a better future for all South Australians.

John turns 94 next week. He joined me today for our policy announcement which will help people like him…

Although it's frustrating the State Government has to step in, we are not a government which sits back and observes a problem, we choose to act.

This is our plan for the old Women's and Children's Hospital.
We don't want the site to be sold off for apartments.
We want to put it to its best use to support our health system.
That's why we will transform the site into a dedicated Health and Aged Care Precinct with more than 600 aged care beds for older South Australians.
Right now, there are 363 older South Australians in public hospitals for no medical reason - but because they can't get a Federal Government aged care bed.
That's why we're stepping in.
Because we're not a Government which sits back and observes a problem.
We choose to act.
Which is why the plan we're taking to the election will deliver an extra 1,300 aged care beds.
