Concessions, grants & rebates by state.

Macarthur Energy Retail supplies customers in NSW and SE QLD as the retailer of record. Government rebates and assistance may help with your energy bills. We can help you check the eligibility rules and application process for each scheme, including which applications go through your retailer and which go directly to the government.

Federal energy bill relief

From time to time the Australian Government provides bill relief credits applied directly through your retailer. Where these are in place we will apply them automatically — you don't need to do anything. Availability, eligibility and payment dates depend on the current government scheme. See energy.gov.au for the current scheme.

New South Wales

These programs are funded by the NSW Government to support eligible households experiencing energy costs and financial difficulties. Select a scheme below for its current amount, full eligibility rules and application steps. Some applications go through your retailer; others go directly to Service NSW. The government pages explain which process applies.

Restricted small-customer plans

Energy Made Easy (EME) is the Australian Energy Regulator’s energy plan comparison service.

Restricted plans available to small customers must still be loaded into EME but do not need to be published on EME. The Basic Plan Information Document (BPID) must still be generated from EME and provided to customers upon request however, it is not required to be published on the retailer’s website.
