Energy rebates are government concessions that can reduce eligible households’ electricity or gas costs, but the scheme, amount and eligibility rules vary by state or territory. Some are applied as a credit to your energy bill through your retailer, while others may involve a payment or voucher. Eligibility can depend on factors such as your concession card, income, medical needs, principal residence and account details. Check your state or territory government’s official website and ask your retailer how to apply; Services Australia can also explain relevant concession cards.
