The Government has no intention of reducing the rebates, concessions and hardship assistance currently available to eligible households. The 2011-12 Budget assumes funding for these items over the forward estimates period to 2014-15.
As part of the Tariff and Concession Framework Review undertaken by the Office of Energy in partnership with the Western Australian Council of Social Service, existing energy concessions have been considered. However, while the structure of assistance may change as a result of the review, the level of assistance will not be reduced.
