  The first bill Albanese's government passed was one responding to the 17 recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. The legislation amended the aged care funding model and introduces new reporting and transparency requirements. The government passed reforms to aged care in November 2024 to increase funding for home care and cut down waiting times for new entrants into aged cared facilities. In March 2025, Albanese and his government passed legislation to subsidise the cost of childcare for most families and guarantee a minimum of three days of subsidised care.
