Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my rebate amount?
Check your electricity retailer's bill, myGov, or your state government's energy rebate webpage for your specific eligibility and amount.
Is the rebate paid as cash or a bill credit?
Most Australian energy rebates are applied automatically as a credit on your electricity bill rather than paid directly to you.
Does this calculator know current rebate rates?
No, rebate schemes and amounts change regularly, so you must enter the current figure from your official rebate notice.
