Who is eligible?

You are eligible for ceiling insulation if you:

• are an Australian citizen or permanent resident aged 18 years or over; and
• are an individual (not, for example, a company or other organisation); and
• are the owner and occupier or beneficial owner of the dwelling where the ceiling insulation is to be installed and occupy that dwelling as your principal place of residence (for definitions of these terms, see section 5 of the Program guidelines); and
• have permission from any other owner/s to apply; and
• obtain the approval of the body corporate, if applicable; and
• have not been granted assistance under the Australian Government’s solar hot water rebate program since the rebate was increased to $1,600 on 3 February 2009; and
• correctly complete and sign the relevant section of the work order form; and
• only apply for assistance under the program once per dwelling; and
• don't already have ceiling insulation or you have ceiling insulation that is deemed as having negligible effectiveness (that is, ceiling insulation with very little or no insulation); and
• have not received, and you are not entitled to receive, assistance for the installation of ceiling insulation in the dwelling under any state, territory or local government scheme which combined with any assistance under this program will result in you receiving assistance in excess of the total cost of the installation of the ceiling insulation.
