On Tuesday 6 June 2023, WHISE CEO Kit McMahon joins the Tuesday Breakfast team at 3CR Radio to discuss the Victorian State Budget announced last month.

The Victorian Government announced the state budget on Tuesday 23 June. Cautiously, WHISE welcomes the budget announcements including investment in women’s health clinics, reducing period poverty and service delivery. Throughout the discussion, McMahon explores how prevention deserves more recognition and funding in order to reduce occurrences of ill-health.

“We also think that we need to do a lot better in understanding the benefit of health promotion and primary prevention. And this is the part of the health system that stops disease, that stops illness that stops problems before they start.” – Kit McMahon
