澳大利亚劳工党政府宣布放弃对退役军人盟医健康服务实施5000澳元上限的计划1。该政策原定于2027年7月1日生效，旨在防止退役军人在每12次理疗后需要重新寻求医生转诊1。
这一政策变动源于数周来自退役军人组织、独立参议员杰基·兰比和反对党的强烈批评1。兰比在参议院发表演讲，警告该上限政策会对退役军人造成"毁灭性影响"1。反对党领袖安格斯·泰勒随后呼吁总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯解雇退役军人事务部长马特·科夫1。在这些压力下，科夫最终宣布撤销这一政策1。
政府表示，需要超过上限的退役军人仍可申请额外援助1。
Australia's Labor government has reversed its plan to impose an A$5,000 annual cap on allied health services for veterans, which had been scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2027.1 Veterans Affairs Minister Matt Keogh announced the policy withdrawal following weeks of intense criticism from veteran organizations, independent Senator Jacqui Lambie, and the opposition.1
The original policy aimed to require veterans to obtain a fresh medical referral from their doctor after every twelve physiotherapy sessions, effectively capping their annual allied health spending.1 Senator Lambie delivered an impassioned speech in parliament warning that the cap would have a "devastating impact" on veterans, while opposition leader Angus Taylor called on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to dismiss Keogh over the proposal.1 The government had previously maintained that veterans exceeding the cap could still apply for additional assistance, but the sustained political pressure ultimately led to the reversal.1
