Just announced today. Every little bit helps.

If you're having difficulty paying your household energy bill because of a short-term financial crisis or emergency, such as unexpected medical bills, or reduced income due to COVID-19, you could be eligible for Energy Accounts Payment Assistance (EAPA) $50 vouchers.

EAPA vouchers are sent electronically to your energy retailer and used to credit your home electricity or gas account. EAPA vouchers can't be used to put your energy account into credit.

Eligibility

You must:

• have an electricity or natural gas account for a NSW residential supply address, which is your primary place of residence
  be the electricity or natural gas account holder (your account and bill must be in your name)
• be experiencing a short-term financial crisis or emergency that has impacted your ability to pay your residential energy bill(s).

  Better than a kick in the pants, although, dealing with Service NSW i'd probably prefer the kick..

  All Queenslanders are getting $200 applied to their electricity bill. This seems lousy in comparison and the process to apply looks convoluted.

  When are we going to see cheaper electricity price? Best I can tell, coal is down 25% year to date.
