-
Set up EvenPay direct debit
We know you’ve got a lot going on. That’s why we’ve made managing your energy bill and your budget, easier than ever.
Rather than paying a seasonal bill, EvenPay direct debit smooths your energy bills into smaller, more manageable payments. Every six months we’ll recalculate your payment amount based on your usage and may adjust your deductions to ensure you’re only paying for the energy you use.
It just takes a just a couple of minutes to set up.

Go digital
Keep track of your correspondence, and reduce paper, by updating your communication preferences to email.
By going paperless you’ll get your bills, and any other important information, instantly delivered straight to your inbox so it’s all in the one place.

Book a fridge pickup
Have you got an old fridge or freezer lying around that’s on ‘The List’ for your isolation clean up?
Not only will ditching it save you in energy costs (up to $200 a year!), through our Fridge Buyback program we’ll take it off your hands for free, ensure it’s responsibly recycled AND give you $30 credit on your ActewAGL electricity bill.
It’s as easy as that.
