Compare your current plan with market offers using the Australian Energy Regulator’s Energy Made Easy website, and ask your retailer whether a cheaper deal is available. Check the offer’s rates, daily supply charge, discounts, contract terms and estimated annual cost against the Default Market Offer reference price. You may also reduce bills by improving appliance efficiency, shifting some usage to cheaper periods where available, and checking whether you qualify for a state concession or hardship program. Your retailer or the relevant government department can confirm available plans and eligibility based on your circumstances.
