The 2026 - 2027 Victorian State Budget Review

In May the Victorian Government will deliver its 2026-27 Budget. What are the policy priorities for the budget by the Allan Government, and what does the budget say about the state of the Victorian economy?

Please join us at the Treasury Theatre as we welcome Paul Donegan, Deputy Secretary of Economic Division at the Victorian Department of Treasury and Finance, to present an overview of the Budget, followed by a question and answer session and a light afternoon tea.
