Start by checking your state or territory government’s official energy assistance page, as rebates differ by location, household circumstances and energy type. Compare the eligibility rules, application process, payment or bill-credit arrangements, and whether the support applies to electricity, gas or both. Some schemes require a current concession card or account in the applicant’s name, and eligibility is ultimately decided by the relevant government department. You can also ask your retailer how an approved concession will appear on your bill, then confirm current details through the official government website or energy.gov.au.
