from purchase and installation and a copy of two quotes which meet requirements
(any installations between 3 February 2009 and the release of the early

How will the program work?
Eligible owner-occupiers who organise installation between 3 February

amount of $1,600. Read the early installation guidelines to check if you
are eligible and to find out how to claim a reimbursement.
After 1 July 2009 all you will need to do is ring the free hotline and

The Australian Government is providing assistance of up to $1,000 to
Eligible landlords/tenants for the installation of new ceiling insulation

property, and the assistance up to $1,000 is available for each individual
property application.
Landlords and tenants (with landlord permission) are eligible for
a rebate of up to $1,000 to install ceiling insulation in their
rental properties under the Low Emissions Assistance Plan for Renters.
Landlords may also be eligible for either the ceiling insulation or
the rebate for solar hot water.
