We have two important updates about government support for subsidizing electricity bills. These benefits are designed to help those facing financial challenges, and we want to make sure our AuburnHub community is informed.
Victorian Government Support
The Victorian Government offers the Utility Relief Grant to help low-income Victorians who are struggling with overdue energy or water bills due to unexpected hardship.

Call your energy or water provider to discuss an application.
National Government Support
The Albanese Labor Government is providing a $300 energy bill rebate to every household and additional relief to small businesses. Starting from July 1, 2024, all households will automatically see a $300 credit applied to their electricity bills. Small businesses will receive $325 off their bills over 2024–25. These credits will be applied in quarterly installments.
At AuburnHub, our mission is to support our neighbors, international students, and migrants in Australia. We believe in the power of community and the importance of helping those in need.
Our vision is to create a friendly, safe, and supportive environment where everyone feels valued.
Stay informed about these energy bill relief opportunities and see if you are eligible. We are here to support you and build a stronger, more resilient community together. Share this news with your friends, family, and acquaintances!
