The Queensland government has announced a new $22 million Smart Energy Savers program offering rebates for a range energy efficient appliance for the state’s residents to reduce emissions.

As the Palaszczuk government pushes to ease cost-of-living pressures, eligible low-income households can claim up $1000 to upgrade their appliances from 2 stars efficiency-rating to 4 stars or above.

While low-income households will be able to claim the most on appliances, all Queenslanders will be eligible to access the cost-of-living supplement on the selected appliances.

“We’re proud to support Queenslanders with this additional cost of living relief package,” said Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk.“

APPLIANCE STANDARD INCOME LOW INCOME Washing Machines $300 $550 Dish Washers $300 $550 Dryers $300 $550 Refrigerators $350 $600 Air conditioners $400 $650 Solar and heat pump hot water systems $800 $1,000 Rebates for Queensland households for energy efficient appliances.
