Lambie's emotional plea for more medical help for veterans | ABC NEWS

Jacqui Lambie has given an emotional account of her health challenges in the Senate, telling the chamber female veterans are suffering.

The Tasmanian senator and army veteran revealed she started to experience vaginal prolapse six months ago, causing issues with her bladder.

"This is an injury directly connected to my back injuries from my time in the army," she said.

Lambie is urging the federal government to drop a $5,000 cap for veterans' allied health services.

The government says it's introducing the cap from July 2027 to ensure veterans aren't "taken advantage of by providers looking to increase profits through overservicing."
