Who pays for the assessment?

The Home Sustainability Assessment has a nominal value of $250 but is free to the Household as it is fully subsidised by the Australian Government. No fee will be paid you to the Assessor for a Home Sustainability Assessment.

Why is the assessment free?

The Australian Government is subsidising the cost of the Home Sustainability Assessments because it recognises that charging a fee immediately restricts the uptake of the service and introduces issues of equity. Those in most need of support to reduce their operational energy and water costs are those least likely to have discretional income available to contribute to the cost of the Home Sustainability Assessment service.

Are new homes eligible?

The Green Loans Program is aimed at increasing the efficiency of existing homes. The dwelling being assessed must have been completed and occupied for at least 12 months (not necessarily by the applicant). Suitable proof may include a certificate of occupancy or similar issued by a local or state government agency.
