    Will a rebate be available for residents of the ACT under this arrangement? To the best of my knowledge, there is no utilities rebate for CSHC holders in the ACT.

    Hello, We have already applied and received the $200 rebate for 2022/23 does that mean we have missed out on the extra $30 or will that only apply from July?
    Thank you

      Hi Christine, thanks for reaching out. We covered this off more clearly in the original article (HERE) but these rebates will automatically be applied to billing accounts, you do not need to ‘apply’.

      Hi Spiros, welcome aboard! We covered this off more clearly in the original article (HERE) but this specific rebate will automatically be applied to billing accounts, you do not need to ‘apply’ for it.

      Hi Deb.
      We were in the same situation, here in Tas.
      BUT I have found that;
      There is a discount available, ONLY IF you notify Aurora.
      As our account was in both our names – they – Aurora selected my wife’s name as the Account holder, therefor she was required to notify them that she had a Commonwealth Seniors Healthcare Card which they then verify with Centrelink, otherwise zero discounts will be credited. And it is not retrospective.
