A new website has been launched to help people across Queensland access Government rebates and concessions.
Minister for Community Services, Karen Struthers said the Every Dollar Counts website was a one-stop shop for Queensland Government and Federal Government concessions.
All entitlements in one place
“We already have one of the broadest range of concessions, rebates, and discounts in Australia but that’s only half the job,” Ms Struthers said.
“This website will help people know what help is available so they can access it.”
She said Every Dollar Counts brought together information about a number of concessions, including:
The increased electricity rebate for pensioners and seniors;
New electricity concessions for low income earners who have multiple sclerosis or other chronic medical conditions significantly affected by changes in temperature; and
Increased electricity life support concessions for oxygen concentrators and kidney dialysis machines and increased reticulated natural gas rebates.
Ms Struthers said the rebates would help ease the burden for people on fixed incomes or who lived with chronic disease.
She said the Government had provided more than $1.3 billion in concessions to Queenslanders.
