* $90m for free GP visits and prescriptions for under-13s, from July 2015
The $1 billion in new spending is dominated by "a $500 million package of extra support for children and families".
While that new spending includes a well flagged extension to paid parental leave, it also features $90 million over three years from next year to extend free doctors' visits and prescriptions to all children under 13.
Previously it was limited to children under six.
Health Minister Tony Ryall said the move, which takes effect from July next year, would benefit more than 400,000 primary school-aged children and their families.
A $172 million a year extension to paid parental leave will initially take it from the current 14 to 16 weeks on April 1 next year, rising to 18 weeks 12 months later.
Mr English also said eligibility would be extended to "home for life" foster caregivers and those in part time, casual work or with multiple employers.
The Government will also "significantly boost" the parental tax credit available to working families not on a benefit and not receiving paid parental leave. It will go from $150 a week to $200 on April 1 next year.
