Federal Energy Bill Relief
The federal government has run national energy bill relief in recent years — most recently a $75-per-quarter credit through 2025, which ended on 31 December 2025. The 2026–27 Federal Budget (handed down 12 May 2026) did not announce a new national rebate, so no federal credit is being applied right now. This is separate from the state rebate below, which continues. We'll update this if Treasury announces new relief.
Saving Beyond Rebates
- Compare plans: Use Energy Made Easy (energymadeeasy.gov.au) to find cheaper plans
- Switch retailers: Many households are on expensive default plans — switching saves $200–$500/year
- Solar: A 6.6kW system costs $4,000–$8,000 after rebates, pays for itself in 3–5 years
