An energy rebate is usually a government-funded concession or discount applied to an eligible household’s electricity or gas bill, rather than an extra fee charged to you. The value and funding arrangements vary between states and territories, and may depend on your concession card, income, medical needs, retailer and energy use. Some rebates are applied automatically, while others require an application through the relevant government department or energy retailer. Check your state or territory’s official energy website for current details, eligibility rules and application steps.
