Maximize Savings Across Australia with the 2024-25 Energy Bill Relief Fund
The Australian Government is taking proactive steps to combat rising electricity costs through the Energy Bill Relief Fund, allocating $3.5 billion for 2024-25. This initiative builds on the $1.5 billion provided in 2023-24 and aims to ease cost-of-living pressures by offering rebates to eligible households and small businesses across all Australian states and territories.
How Does the Energy Bill Relief Fund Work?
- Households: Eligible households will receive $300 annually, distributed in quarterly installments through their electricity bills.
- Small Businesses: Eligible businesses will benefit from a $325 rebate, also applied quarterly throughout 2024-25.
The rebates are administered by state and territory governments through electricity retailers, ensuring a smooth and automatic process for eligible customers.
Eligibility for Households and Small Businesses in All Regions
- Households: All Australian households connected to the grid are automatically eligible for the rebate. Residents in embedded networks (such as those in apartments, retirement villages, or caravan parks) will also receive the rebate, though some may need to follow specific procedures for their region.
- Small Businesses: Eligibility depends on meeting annual electricity consumption thresholds, which vary by state:
- NSW & ACT: 100 MWh
- Victoria: 40 MWh
- Queensland: 100 MWh
- South Australia: 160 MWh
- Western Australia: 50 MWh
- Tasmania: 150 MWh
- Northern Territory: 160 MWh
Check with your retailer or the relevant government websites for details specific to your area.
How to Receive the Rebate
- If your electricity account is active on the census date, the rebate will be automatically applied to your bill.
- Households and small businesses in embedded networks should follow the procedures outlined by their state or territory to claim their rebates.
In most cases, if the rebate isn’t visible on your first quarter bill, it will be added in the next billing cycle.
