Life Support - Energy Rebate (VIC)
Subject to eligibility, the Life Support Concession provides a quarterly discount on electricity and/or water bills where a household member uses an eligible life support machine. This concession is available all year round.
Qualifying machines are those that use at least 1,880 kilowatt hours per annum.
Most continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) machines do not seem to meet this threshold.
