We’re committed to ensuring support is available for our customers, workers and broader community when it’s needed most.
Financial support
Core to our commitment is the support options we’ll continue to provide for every residential and small business customer who reaches out for assistance to pay their bill.
Residential customers
If you are experiencing financial difficulty, please get in touch. Here are some of the ways we’ll work with you to assist you:
- Offering tailored payment extensions and flexible payment arrangements, adjusted to your circumstances.
- Ensuring energy supply remains connected if you're facing financial stress as a result of COVID-19 and have contacted us to let us know.
- Processing your reconnection as soon as we hear from you if you were disconnected for non-payment. We’ll also waive any associated fees.
- Pausing default listings for customers experiencing financial stress.
- Giving advice on eligibility for concessions and rebates.
- Providing access to our financial hardship program, Staying Connected. Through the program, you’ll receive personalised support from our dedicated Staying Connected team.
- Encouraging you to set up EvenPay direct debit, which splits the cost of your annual energy bills into set, smaller fortnightly or monthly payments, making bills more manageable and predictable.
- Checking that you're on the best energy plan for you.
- Providing practical energy saving tips and advice.
Business customers
We're aware that many businesses have had their income impacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The same measures in place for residential customers are also available for small business customers.
In addition, we’ve temporarily extended our Staying Connected program to small businesses (with usage under 100MWh), and we’ll ensure your energy supply remains connected if you're facing financial stress and have contacted us to let us know.
