Set a yearly reminder to apply for energy rebates (aussie.zone)

Things have been chaotic here.

I recently received an Outlook reminder I’d set… but it came after the applications closed. And I am straining my tired brain to remember if that was the closing date for the previous rebate or if I missed a new one. Or even missed the previous one!

However the reminder itself was very useful.

I’m planning to set another reminder for next year, this time for May or June.

What rebates are these?

EDIT: Okay, I had a look around

National Energy Bill Relief payment - https://www.energy.gov.au/energy-bill-relief-fund
- Shouldn't need to apply for this one, unless you are in an 'embedded network' (e.g. caravan park, retirement village, or shopping centre in the case of small businesses)
NSW
- Family Energy Rebate - https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-for-the-family-energy-rebate-retail-customers
  - Must have a dependent child
- Seniors Energy Rebate - https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-for-the-seniors-energy-rebate
  - Must hold a current Commonwealth Seniors Health Card
- Low Income Household Rebate - https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-for-the-low-income-household-rebate-retail-customers
  - Must hold a Pensioner Concession Card, Heath Care Card, Low Income Health Care Card or DVA Veteran Gold Card

Probably not an exhaustive list, but just what I found with a quick look around.

Thanks for providing the breakdown that I should have. Lol

I’ll try to do the Victorian one when I get home
