Labor has now invested $865 million through the RHIF, the largest health grants program in Victoria's history.
Since 2016, the fund has delivered more than 750 projects, supported local jobs and helped regional health services attract and retain skilled workers.
That includes a revamped Urgent Care Centre in Inglewood, upgraded aged care facilities in West Wimmera and new medical equipment in Swan Hill and Central Gippsland.
In every corner of the state, Labor is backing the hospitals and health workers regional communities rely on.
Jess Wilson’s mentor Jeff Kennett cut jobs and closed 12 regional hospitals and privatised two.
If given the chance, a Liberal One Nation Coalition will do it again.
