Eligibility

* indicates a required field.

The Energy Bill Relief program will assist eligible customers that access electricity for their principal place of residence via an embedded network. An embedded network arrangement exists if you pay for your electricity via your landlord in a caravan park or retirement home or village through an individually metered connection rather than purchase electricity directly from an electricity retailer (like Aurora or 1st Energy). The Australian and Tasmanian Government in collaboration will be providing a $250 payment to eligible customers residing in embedded networks in both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 financial years.

To receive the Energy Bill Relief payment you must also be eligible under one of the concession eligibility criteria on 1 July 2023. Only one Energy Bill Relief payment will be made per residence.

If you need assistance please phone (03) 6166 4444 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm or visit your local Service Tasmania branch.
