Thermoregulatory Dysfunction Energy Subsidy Scheme
The State Government has introduced a new power bill subsidy for West Australians who suffer from chronic medical conditions which prevents them from controlling their own body temperature. This subsidy helps pay for domestic heating or cooling systems.
The new $335 annual subsidy is enough to pay for the operation of a room-sized reverse cycle air-conditioner for six hours every day of the year.
The Office of State Revenue administers the scheme. Application forms, medical guidelines and more information are available here.
