Green Loans
How to apply
Three easy steps
There are three easy steps to get your free Home Sustainability Assessment and Green Loan.
Step 1 Register for a home sustainability assessment
At no cost, a qualified home sustainability assessor will visit your home, investigate your energy and water use and establish actions that can help you save energy and water.
Only one free assessment is available per applicant at a given address.
If you are interested in having a Home Sustainability Assessment, call our Hotline on 1800 895 076 and we will notify you when Assessors are available in your area.
Householder Terms and Conditions
Prior to the assessment, householders must agree to the terms and conditions in the householder declaration.
- Download the Householder Declaration Terms and Conditions (two signed copies are required)
Step 2 Receive your tailored home sustainability assessment report
Shortly after your assessment you will receive a tailored home sustainability assessment that suggests:
- The best water and energy saving changes your can make to your property;
- Options to purchase energy and water saving devices; and
- Practical information to help you get started.
The assessment is valid for six months from the date of issue.
Step 3 Choose your home sustainability actions
With your assessment report in hand, you can make water and energy saving changes as simple or as large scale as you like, as your sustainable home assessment report is the first step to qualifying for a green loan of up to $10,000 that is interest free for up to a maximum of four years.
Only one Green Loan can be provided per assessment report but the loan can support many individual actions.
