BUDGET OVERVIEW
Treasurer’s message
I am honoured to present the 2022-23 Budget, the first budget of the Malinauskas government.
The budget delivers our election commitments, returns the budget to surplus, and contains no new taxes.
The 2022-23 Budget provides an additional $2.4 billion in our health services from 2021-22 to 2025‑26, to
provide the resources and infrastructure our health system needs.
Our hydrogen jobs plan, five new technical colleges and much needed additional funding for mental health
and autism support for school kids are all funded in this budget.
The 2022-23 Budget delivers support for additional public housing and a low deposit home loan scheme to
get more South Australians into home ownership. Cost of living concessions will be doubled in
2022-23 to provide the extra financial support needed by South Australians to meet the rising cost of
essential goods and services as part of a broader package of cost of living measures.
The 2022-23 Budget continues the state’s commitment for major infrastructure development including the
North-South Corridor upgrade, a new Women’s and Children’s Hospital as well as new road infrastructure
projects.
We are committed to providing improvements in government services and infrastructure so our state can meet
the challenges and opportunities of the future, while returning the state’s finances to a more stable footing.
The 2022-23 Budget signals the start of this endeavour.
Hon Stephen Mullighan MP
Treasurer
