Energy Assistance Payment (EAP)

The Energy Assistance payment is credited to Synergy or Horizon Power customers’ electricity bills. If you are not a direct customer of these energy suppliers check your eligibility for the Energy Concession Extension Scheme.

As of 1 July 2015, eligibility for the Energy Assistance Payment is limited to holders of means‑tested Commonwealth concession cards and applicants will need to register with an appropriate concession card as listed below.

The Energy Assistance Payment was previously known as the Cost of Living Assistance (CoLA) payment, but has been renamed to provide a clearer description of the purpose of the concession.
