The Home Energy Saver Scheme (the Scheme) is part of the Australian Government’s climate change plan, Securing a Clean Energy Future, and was developed in the context of the expansion of the Low Carbon Communities Program.
Funding for the Scheme is $50.5 million over four years (until 2014-15) to support low-income households across Australia experiencing difficulty meeting and paying for their energy needs.
What can HESS offer me?
HESS is provided through community organisations around Australia and can help by offering low-income households experiencing difficulty meeting and paying for their energy needs with:
- information about easy and affordable ways to use less energy in the home
- one-on-one budgeting assistance
- information on whether you are getting the right rebates and assistance
- help to understand your energy bills and the energy market
- advice, advocacy and support
- links to other services that may be able to assist you, and
- help to access no or low interest loans to purchase energy efficient appliances.
How can I find out more?
You can get more information by calling the HESS Helpline on 1800 007 001 or contacting your local HESS provider below:
