The Coalition has promised to put plans for retirees, apprentices and dementia research in place if elected next month.

The plan includes indexing the Commonwealth Seniors Health card to help seniors with the cost of living, allocating $200 million to dementia research, and providing apprentices with a HECS-like loan scheme.

Liberal candidate for Newcastle, Jaime Abbott says the plan to index the Seniors Health card will assist retirees with healthcare costs.
