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.

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Apologies if any of this is sloppily sourced or out of date, I crashed when I got home and am very tired.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.)

This seems to be for low income Victorians
