Another $375m is needed to cover the costs of a equal pay agreement with aged care and home support workers over the coming year.
That total of $1.1 billion does not cover estimated shortfalls from previous years.
Labour health spokesman David Clark said his party also wanted the Government to begin "back-filling" the health sector's $1.7 billion gap in funding since 2010. This estimate by analysts Infometrics is based on the increase in Crown expenditure relative to inflation and population growth.
"It seems that over the course of this Government's time, it has starved healthcare," Clark said.
"It hasn't delivered sufficiently to maintain the current level of service. Add the number of people the population is growing by, and the Budget has not grown commensurately.
"That means each person can expect a lower level of service from the health system than they used to get."
Public Service Association head Erin Polaczuk said funding shortfalls were being felt on the front line. Stress levels and workplace pressures were "more intense than ever", she said.
The unions' analysis said around $580 million more funding was needed for district health boards - up from $400m last year.
Association of Salaried Medical Specialists Ian Powell said there was particular need for more hospital specialist places. A survey by the association taken in July and August last year found half of specialists - includes surgeons and physicians - had experienced burnout.
Labour also wants a greater focus on primary care in the Budget, in particular more affordable GP appointments and adequate NGO funding.
"That's where the preventative stuff goes on," Clark said. "We feel the Government has had an exclusive focus on short-term targets at the expense of preventative areas with long-term costs."
One of those targets is elective surgery, which the Government has poured money into in successive budgets. National has a target of increasing elective surgeries like hip and cataract operations by 4000 a year - which was easily exceeded in the last quarter.
Also on Labour's wish-list is a funding boost for mental health, which is emerging as a key issue in election year. The party wants a broad review of the mental health sector. But in the meantime, it has proposed putting dedicated mental health teams into GP clinics in eight centres around the country - at a cost of $43m.
Labour could get its wish, possibly as soon as Thursday. Health Minister Jonathan Coleman hinted that the Government is looking at a similar initiative, which has been called for by professionals in the mental health sector.
The Green Party supports Labour's proposals on mental health and filling the funding gap. Health spokeswoman Julie Anne Genter said her party also wants measure to address child obesity, including a tax on sugary drinks, healthy food in schools and public buildings, and measures to make it safer for kids to cycle to school.
New Zealand First wants adequate funding for the free GP consultation scheme, which was extended by National from under-6s to under-13s in 2015. It also wants three free GP visits a year for SuperGold card holders.
