Delight at the Government's decision to scrap the $5 prescription fee.
The move, which kicks in from July, will cost nearly $620 million.
Prescription Access Initiative spokesperson Vicky Chan says it's a no brainer.
"It is obvious that the $5 prescription payment has been a barrier for a lot of our patients and the communities out there, so we obviously welcome this fantastic move in the Budget."
Extra funding has also been allocated to boost health workforce pay, reduce waiting lists and lift immunisation rates.
