Victorian State Government rebates

Victoria was the first Australian state to set a renewable energy target and is making a major investment in renewable energy and low emissions technologies. The Victorian State Government has launched a number of rebates and incentives to help Victorian households improve their efficiency and sustainability.

Home Green can assist Victorian householders by providing advice and assistance with all relevant State Government rebates as part of their Home Energy Assessment.
