Western Australian households will receive another burst of cost-of-living relief heading into Christmas, with the second instalment of the $700.00 Household Electricity Credit to roll out from this weekend.
The Cook Labor Government has partnered with the Albanese Labor Government to deliver the credit, with the $350.00 instalment to be applied on Synergy and Horizon bills from December 7th.
“Delivering cost-of-living relief to WA families is our top priority,” Premier Roger Cook said.
“Over the past four years, our WA Labor Government has delivered $2,100.00 in power bill relief to every single WA household,” Cook said.
Households with a direct billing account with Synergy or Horizon Power will automatically have the credit applied to their next bill after this Saturday. But for households that don’t have an account with Synergy or Horizon Power, applications for assistance are open through RevenueWA, closing on January, 31st.
Households requiring additional support can access additional power bill relief through the Energy Assistance Payment and the Dependent Child Rebate.
“This is real support that makes a difference to WA households juggling cost-of-living pressures,” Treasurer Rita Saffioti said.
“Our government has made clear we will continue to support Western Australian households and businesses through these cost-of-living pressures.”
