Electricity Rebate (QLD)

If anyone in your household holds an eligible card, this is worth roughly $340–$372 a year — and it doesn't apply automatically. You have to register it once.

What it’s worth

Fixed annual rebate for eligible card holders. For a typical eligible household in Queensland, that’s roughly $340–$372 a year. (Indicative figure, verified against the official program on 2026-07-01 — the official page below always has the current value.)

Who qualifies

Pensioner Concession Card, Seniors Card, or Health Care Card (asylum seeker status also eligible). Only the administering body can confirm your eligibility — if you’re unsure, apply anyway; the worst outcome is a no.

How to claim it

Have your concession card and a recent bill handy.
Call your retailer and ask them to register the card on your account — or use the official application below.
Check your next bill shows the concession line. If it doesn’t, chase it — it isn’t applied retroactively in most cases.

One more thing worth checking

A concession stacks with being on the right plan — it’s a percentage or rebate on top of whatever you pay, so a bad plan still bleeds money underneath it. Our free check reads both off your bill: upload it here and the report covers the plan, the concession, and your household setup together.
