Through the Darebin Energy Upgrades program, our suppliers will assist you to access all applicable federal and state rebates for your upgrades.

In addition, Darebin City Council are providing additional rebates to eligible residents who have products installed through the Energy Upgrades program.

Eligible households can apply for council rebates of $150 to $3,500 for insulation, draught proofing, split systems, solar PV systems, and hot water heat pumps.

A one-off gas disconnection payment of $220 is available to households disconnecting their last household appliance from the gas network. Available to the first 30 eligible applicants.

To be eligible for the Darebin Council rebate, you must meet one of the following criteria:

• A valid concession card (Health Care Card or a Pensioner Concession Card, Federal Concession Card, or Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card)
• A combined household income of $120,000* or less

Note: eligible residents are only able to access Darebin Council rebates once through the program.
