Anthony Albanese is set to reflect on the past seven months in power and reveal what Australians can expect from his government in 2023.

The prime minister will attend the Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland, a six-day celebration of music and culture, running for the first time in almost three years.

He will give the memorial lecture on former prime minister Bob Hawke, one of the festival's greatest fans.

Mr Albanese will reflect on the former Labor leader's time in government while also celebrating his own government's successes since it was elected in May.

"Bob Hawke left a great legacy and that's because he understood that for any legacy to have staying power requires a government that lasts the distance," he will say.

"No one's time in government is infinite. The clock is always ticking.

"But I firmly believe that a good way to make the best possible use of that time is to carry Bob's example in your heart."

The prime minister will talk about his government's election commitment to hit the ground running.

He will cite his party's achievements in establishing a stronger climate target, paid domestic violence leave, a national anti-corruption commission and improved gender equality.

Mr Albanese will also reference the steps taken to restore Australia's international relationships, particularly with the Pacific region and China.

Voters appear to have given the government's momentum a tick of approval.

A new poll commissioned by the Sydney Morning Herald shows Labor's primary vote has lifted to 40 per cent across the nation since May.

The government also had a clear lead against the coalition in the five biggest states, the Resolve poll suggests.

In Queensland, a key battleground state, Labor's primary vote had jumped from 27 per cent to 37 per cent.

Mr Albanese will use his speech to lament the previous nine years of the coalition government and commit to supporting the arts sector.

He will say the former government did not understand that rather than being a luxury, the arts were "central to our very being".

Looking to 2023, Mr Albanese will pledge to continue building on the momentum his government established in 2022.

"My determination has always been that we will be a government for all Australians," he will say.

"We will listen. We will consult. We will keep our doors open, along with our ears and our minds."

The Woodford festival runs from December 27 to January 1.
