GREEN LOANS ASSESSMENT
Complete a Free Home Sustainability Assessment and be eligible for a $10,000 interest free loan.
Background

The Green Loans Program helps Australians make the right choices for their home and their budget by providing access to tailored information from in-home assessments and funding from financial partners.

A tailored free Home Sustainability Assessment coupled with access to interest free Green Loan products of up to $10,000 will enable home owners to make improvements and reap the savings for less energy and water used around their homes.

Getting a free Home Sustainability Assessment is the first step to qualify for a Green Loan product from a financial partner. The Australian Government will subsidise the interest on a Green loan of up to $10,000 for a period of four years - which means it's interest free for that period.

Up to 360,000 working families will be eligible for a Home Sustainability Assessment over the duration of the 5 year program.

How it works

Through the Green Loans Program, householders will be able to access a free, comprehensive Home Sustainability Assessment to reduce their energy and water bills, increase the comfort of their home and help reduce damaging carbon pollution.

An independent assessment by an accredited expert assessor will provide advice from the smallest behaviour change to major investments such as a solar hot water system or photovoltaic panels.

From this assessment, householders will get a tailored, expert report listing the most effective changes for their home. After receiving the report, households may whish to apply for a Green Loan to help with the up front cost of their Green Installations. They have 6 months to apply for a Green Loan.

The assessment will involve the physical inspection of major energy and water systems relating to thermal comfort, water heating, lighting, refrigeration, cooking, entertainment, water efficiency and outdoor consumption, and waste management.
