Yeah this is the one I was talking about.
Apologies if any of this is sloppily sourced or out of date, I crashed when I got home and am very tired. I’ll try to check it over and absorb some of the information for myself tomorrow.
I just thought to remind people about the rebates and suggest setting up a yearly reminder to check.
VIC
There doesn’t seem to be a Family Energy Rebate for Victoria but there are (more?) solar rebates for apartment dwellers coming https://www.energy.gov.au/news-media/news/more-solar-rebates-victorian-apartment-residents
There’s conflicting info about Seniors discounts, DFFH saying seniors don’t get discounts and compare the market/Selectra saying they can.
(Don’t sleep on the medical cooling if you’re a pensioner. I know you can get that.)
