Fresh from outlining ideas for long-term reform at its productivity roundtable, the government is set to focus on several key election promises as it settles into its second-term agenda.
Laws cutting the cost of prescriptions on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme to $25 will be back up for debate during the fortnight.
Measures formally enshrining penalty rates are also set to pass the parliament as part of a workplace rights push.
And housing will be back on the agenda after the government announced it will bring forward its guarantee scheme for first home buyers by three months.
Proposals to speed up housing developments have also been brought forward since the productivity roundtable, including a pause in changes to national construction standards.
While there were calls at the economic summit to commit to broad tax changes such as a crackdown on negative gearing and amendments to capital gains, Treasurer Jim Chalmers has stressed there are no immediate plans for an overhaul.
While some changes loom, such as an increase in taxes on superannuation balances over $3 million, the treasurer assured there were no plans to introduce these measures in the upcoming sitting weeks.
The coalition is expected to press the government on its decision earlier in August to recognise Palestinian statehood.
The opposition has said the change in foreign policy broke with bipartisanship on a two-state solution in the Middle East and impacted relations with Israel.
Opposition Leader Sussan Ley said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had mismanaged the relationship with Israel, as Benjamin Netanyahu increased criticism of the government's stance.
The coalition's position on net-zero emissions is also set to be tested during the sitting week, as a bill put forward by former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce to scrap the emissions reduction measure is brought back for debate.
It comes as the LNP annual conference on Friday passed a resolution to abandon policies connected with the net-zero emissions by 2050 target.
