If you live on the NSW Central Coast, contact your electricity retailer promptly and ask about its hardship program, payment plans and bill review options. You may also qualify for NSW energy rebates or Energy Accounts Payment Assistance (EAPA), depending on your circumstances and current government rules. Compare available electricity plans through the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy service before switching, and check your bill for estimated readings or unusual usage. Eligibility and assistance are decided by the retailer or NSW Government, so confirm details with them or visit energy.gov.au.
