In the financial year 2018 the Australian government spent 46.48 billion dollars on federal government program health programs. This follows a steady annual increase on state health grants and own program expenditure, despite all other expenditure types experiencing little to no growth over the time period from 2008.

Grants to states include the Commonwealth Government National Health Reform funding and some National Partnership Payments.

Tax revenue has been deducted from the Australian Government own program expenditure. As such, totals may be inconsistent with those in other tables.
