Victoria - $250 Energy Bill Bonus for Residents [900,000 Eligible Victorian Households]
Victoria’s state government is offering hundreds of dollars in cash back on power bills - and many households might not even know about it.
One in three people is eligible for a one-off $250 cashback payment from their power bills.
“This one-off payment will provide immediate financial relief for those struggling to pay their power bills,” Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio said in a statement.
“It’s part of the ongoing support we’re providing to Victorian households as we rebuild from the pandemic – as well as helping more families put solar on their homes to reduce their power bills and save money.”
The bonus is available to any households who hold a pensioner concession card or receive JobSeeker.
Those who receive Austudy, Abstudy or Youth Allowance are also eligible.
The payment will be available for 12 months, but there is a limit of one per household.
The cash-back offer is available through the Victorian Energy Compare website.
A form can be completed there and a household electricity bill from a retailer must also be submitted.
Residents can find the website here or alternatively call 1800 000 832: https://compare.energy.vic.gov.au/
