If you own your own home and are on a low income, you may be eligible for a partial discount on your rates bill.
The maximum rebate you can get is $805. You may be eligible for all or only part of this amount. The amount is determined by your income, how many dependants you have, and how much your annual rates bill is.
From 1 July 2025, the Government has increased the qualifying income limit for SuperGold cardholders.
