Struggling to pay? We’re here to help. Call 13 37 02 before your bill is due and speak to a real person who can assist you.
There’s lots of ways we can help, including:
The following options could help make it easier for you to manage your energy account payments:
If you need more time to pay your current bill, request a payment extension online anytime, anywhere via MyAccount or submit an online form.
You can pay regular instalments to cover your overdue debt whilst continuing to pay for your ongoing usage, for a determined period of time.
In circumstances where you cannot pay your overdue debt and ongoing energy costs, we can put the overdue debt on hold for a period of six months and let you pay less than your ongoing usage cost for that period. We’ll work with you to find ways to reduce your energy costs, including placing you on a tariff/product that is suited to your circumstances.
Financial counselling is a free service offered by community organisations, community legal centres and some government agencies. To find a financial counsellor in your area, call the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007 or visit the Government’s MoneySmart website for more information.
The Federal and State governments offer a range of programs and concession rebates to assist people who are experiencing financial difficulty.
