Tim Bull urges Gippsland East households to apply for $100 Power Saving Bonus amid rising costs
Gippsland East MP Tim Bull urges locals to apply for the $100 Power Saving Bonus, helping households manage rising costs. Eligible residents can seek assistance at his Bairnsdale office.
The Nationals' Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, is encouraging locals to take advantage of the latest round of the Power Saving Bonus. The $100 payment is available to all eligible households, including those who received the bonus in previous rounds.
Tim Bull said the bonus helps households save money, inviting anyone needing application assistance to visit his Bairnsdale office
Power price relief
Mr Bull said, "Despite the state government saying power prices have gone 'down, down, down' - they have in fact gone 'up, up, up' and I encourage all who are eligible to get this relatively small reimbursement. Families, pensioners and small businesses are dealing with continued power price hikes."
"The cost of living continues to spiral out of control, and a $100 saving can mean the difference between putting food on the table or going hungry. While this is by no means a cure-all for the hip-pocket pain Victorians are enduring, it's cash back at a time when people need it most," Mr Bull said.
Energy rebate support
Mr Bull said the program was a simple but effective way for households to put a little extra back in their pockets. "For those households needing assistance to apply, please pop into my office in Bairnsdale and my staff will be more than happy to assist" he said.
To apply, eligible households will need a recent residential electricity bill and must hold a Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card, Veterans' Affairs Pensioner Concession Card, or Veterans' Affairs Gold Card.
