From 1 July 2022, all households can access the new $250 program by visiting the Victorian Energy Compare website and submitting an application. 

There are better energy deals out there for Victorian families and we have set up an independent website - Victorian Energy Compare – to help people find them.

Seven out of 10 people can save money by using the Victorian Energy Compare website, with typical annual
household savings of $330 on energy bills in the first year alone.

You don’t have to take up an offer or switch plans, you just have to visit the comparison website to see how you can take charge of your energy costs.

Only one payment is available per household.

CURRENT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS (PRE JULY 1):

• You must be a residential energy consumer (i.e. have a residential electricity account)
• You must receive one of the following concession benefits:

- Centrelink Pension Concession Card
- JobSeeker, Youth Allowance, Abstudy or Austudy
- Department of Veterans Affairs Pensioner Concession Card
- Department of Veterans Affairs Gold Card

*Holders of Health Care Cards who are not recipients of Youth cap Allowance, JobSeeker, Austudy or Abstudy are not eligible.
