VICTORIAN concession card holders are encouraged to apply for a $100 Power Saving Bonus (PSB) payment, with the State Government reinstating the program this week to help ease cost-of-living pressures.
The one-off payment provides direct support to households in need and encourages Victorians to compare energy prices and save on electricity costs.
Mooroopna Education & Activity Centre (MEAC) can assist community members with applications for the new round of PSB payments. To avoid waiting, MEAC encourages people to call 5825 1774 and make an appointment.
Applicants need to bring:
- A current residential electricity bill
- A valid concession card (Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card, Veteran’s Affairs Pensioner Concession Card, or Veteran’s Affairs Gold Card)
- Driver’s licence or Medicare card
- Banking details for the deposit of the rebate
