Energy Accounts Payment Assistance

Energy Accounts Payment Assistance (EAPA) is an NSW Government initiative for customers with an open account who are experiencing a short-term financial crisis e.g. unexpected medical bills, car repairs or loss of employment.

The process involves a trained community employee creating a budget with you, an issuing of a voucher, and setting you up on payment plan with your provider.
