## What you need to check

You need a Pensioner Concession Card, Health Care Card or Veteran Gold Card. The gas account must be in your name. Your gas company takes 17.5% off your piped (mains) gas usage and service charges from 1 May to 31 October. The first $62.40 of winter bills does not get the discount. If your winter gas costs go over $2,598.58, you need to fill in another form to keep the discount. The 2026 winter period has ended. The next one starts on 1 May 2027.

This is a short summary. Other rules may apply, like income or where you live. Check the full rules with the agency that runs it.
