As cost of living pressure continues, the Victorian Government is firmly on the side of Victorian families – delivering real help for Victorians to drive down their energy bills.

Households with a concession card can access a $100 Power Saving Bonus, to help pay those winter energy bills. While energy companies keep raising their prices, we’re on the side of Victorian families with real cost of living relief.

Eligible concession cards include Centrelink Health Care Cards, Pensioner Concession Cards, Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession Cards, and Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card.

If you need support with your $100 energy payment application, please come by my office at 211 Dana Street, on the corner of Armstrong Street South – close to Central Square. You’ll need your most recent power bill, your concession card, and another piece of ID for the application.

This is just one of many ways we’re helping families pay their energy bills.

• Any Victorian can visit Victorian Energy Compare to see if they can switch to a cheaper energy plan: compare.energy.vic.gov.au . Last year, those who used this website to switch saved an average of $240 per year on their energy bills.
• Any Victorian can visit the SEC One Stop Shop for trusted advice and government discounts to upgrade their home to cheaper, electric energy and slash their bills long-term: powerup.secvictoria.com.au. Through this, households can access discounts and rebates from Victoria Energy Upgrades or Solar Victoria, for modern efficient electric heating, hot water, solar or batteries, to save hundreds if not thousands on their annual energy bills.
• If you or anyone you know is really struggling to pay their energy bills, you or they can call the Energy Assistance Program on 1800 161 215 for tailored one-on-one support to access grants and concessions for those most in need.
