What are the arrangements under the Energy Efficient Homes Package for people living in aged care facilities?
The Government is very conscious of the circumstances of people living in aged care facilities and has ensured the Energy Efficient Homes Package addresses their needs. People living in an independent unit in a retirement village or in an aged care facility, can access either the insulation assistance of up to $1,200 under the Home Insulation Program or the Solar Hot Water Rebate of $1,600, provided they meet the eligibility criteria. Aged care and other facilities such as bed-sits in aged care centres, full care nursing homes and hostels can apply for insulation assistance of up to $1,200 per facility under the Home Insulation Program.
