In the 2024-2025 period, eligible Queensland households will receive a Cost of Living Rebate (CoLR) provided by the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments. Additionally, eligible Queensland small businesses will benefit from a Small Business Rebate (QSBR) funded by the Queensland Government and a separate rebate from the Commonwealth Government (CSBR).
For eligible residential customers and small businesses in privately-owned embedded networks who are billed for electricity by an authorised on-supplier, both the Cost of Living Rebate (CoLR) and the Small Business Rebate (QSBR and CSBR) will be applied as separate lump sum credits to customers' electricity accounts starting from 1 July 2024.
The Queensland Government is responsible for the implementation of the rebates in Queensland.
