How to Apply for the $100 Power Saving Bonus

By Sheena Watt

The Allan Labor Government is backing families and those that need it most — we're helping them cut energy costs and take back control of their bills.

That’s why we’ve invested $50 million to deliver a $100 Power Saving Bonus to eligible concession card households across Victoria.

Who is eligible?

• Victorian households with a valid concession card.

• This is a one-off $100 payment to help with rising energy costs.

• Available from August 25, 2025.

How to apply

1. Visit the Victorian Energy Compare website: compare.energy.vic.gov.au

2. Complete the short application form.

3. Alternatively, apply through a participating community organisation.

4. Need help? Contact my office for support or attend one of our pop-up information desks (dates to be shared soon).

Why this matters

• It’s about putting money back in your pocket at a time when cost-of-living pressures are hitting hard.

• Last year, Victorians who used the Energy Compare website saved an average of $240 per year by switching energy deals.

• This bonus is on top of the Albanese Labor Government’s Energy Bill Relief Fund, which is cutting $150 off household energy bills from July to December this year.
