A fair energy transition for vulnerable households

Not all households are on an equal footing when it comes to energy, with many experiencing energy debt. They can’t pay their energy bills let alone afford the latest energy technology or energy-efficient appliances.

Your donations help ensure we have a voice at the table when it comes to developing fairer energy policies.

We believe that scarce government resources should go to those who need them most.

St Vincent de Paul Society National Council is a member of the Fundraising Institute of Australia.
