Multicap would like to pass on the following message from the Department of Communities regarding the Medical Cooling & Heating Electricity Concession Scheme. 

The Queensland Government provides financial assistance to low-income Queenslanders with a medical condition which requires the use of electricity for cooling or heating. This assistance is provided for a period of 2 years, at which time eligibility will require review.

The concession is provided to assist individuals with the increased electricity costs incurred by frequent operation of an air-conditioning unit in order to regulate body temperature.

For more information about the scheme, qualifying medical conditions and how to apply please refer to the Information brochure.
