Concession card households in Victoria will be able to apply for their $100 Power Saving Bonus from later this month, with the Victorian Government driving down power bills and providing real cost of living help to Victorians most in need.
The new round of the Power Saving Bonus will open on Monday 25 August, providing a $100 payment to eligible concession card holders.
Neighbourhood Houses Victoria are helping to deliver this fifth round of the program to households experiencing vulnerability across the state.
Up to 250 participating Neighbourhood Houses across Melbourne and regional Victoria will deliver in-person support to help eligible Victorians access their $100 Power Saving Bonus.
Since the first round of the Power Saving Bonus was launched in 2018, more than 4.5 million applications have been paid across four rounds of the program, totalling over $1 billion in energy bill relief to Victorian households.

They can also get support to apply by calling the VEC helpline on 1800 000 832 or by visiting a participating Neighbourhood House in their area.
