If you hold a Queensland Government Seniors Card, you may be eligible for an Electricity Rebate of $372.20 per year (GST inclusive). If you have an account with an electricity retailer, contact them directly.

You can apply over the phone or ask your retailer to send you an application form.

You will need to provide certain details and have copies of your bills and concession card handy so you can verify your eligibility. Rebates are automatically deducted from your bill.

If you have this concession already applied to your electricity account, you will also receive an additional $700 Cost of Living Rebate on electricity bills.

For most households, the rebate will be credited to electricity bills on a quarterly basis. Exact timing will depend on retailers’ system requirements and individual billing cycles.
