FREE HOME ENERGY AND WATER ASSISTANCE

FREE HOME ENERGY AND WATER ASSISTANCE

The Outreach energy and water efficiency program assists low income
households to reduce their energy and water use and save money on their
bills.
Any household experiencing financial hardship with a household income
less than the national rental scheme income may be eligible.
The aim is to provide education to the household. By participating in
the program the household will learn how to reduce energy and water
consumption, improve comfort in their home, reduce impact on the
environment and make their household bills more affordable.

The energy efficiency officer will provide education and assess the
household's needs on the first visit and if identified the household may
be eligible for further assistance.
For more information or to verify eligibility, please contact one of the
following organisations, which are working with the ACT Government to
