Sustainable Living begins at Home
That's why the Australian government offers You
a FREE Home Sustainability Assessment!
| ATTENTION: a new statement, released by Hon. Peter Garrett on Friday, the 19th of February 2010, advertised fundamental changes to the Green Loans Program! The interest free loans will not be continued after the 22nd of March 2010, subsidies for insulation are cancelled until a new programme will be introduced, and the rebate and conditions to receive subsidies for replacing a electric hot water systems have been changed. Households are, at this stage, still eligible for Free Home Sustainability Assessments, but without qualifying for an interest free loan! 1300 778 451 is the number of a new enquiries hotline if you want to find out how these changes affect you, or complain about missing reports! Some information on this page is now out of date - my apologies! |

- suggestions to save you money
- eligibility for interest-free Green Loans to make improvements

Through the Australian Government's Green Loans Program, all householders are eligible to access a free, comprehensive and independent Home Sustainability Assessment to help reduce your energy and water bills, increase the comfort of your home and reduce damaging carbon pollution.
A qualified assessor performs the independent assessment. It offers suggestions ranging from small lifestyle changes to investments in solar hot water systems or photovoltaic panels.
The free assessment, valued at up to $250, involves the physical inspection of major energy and water systems relating to thermal comfort, water heating, lighting, refrigeration, cooking, entertainment and water efficiency, including outdoor consumption and waste management.
If you want to implement recommendations, as outlined in your Assessment Report, you can apply for an Interest Free Green Loan of up to $10,000 with one of the
Green Loans Program Financial Partners.
