Help us share the hard facts about your energy bill during summer.

Unfortunately, for many in our community they cannot access these targeted rebates. MS Queensland’s work continues; particularly looking at access to renewable technology, rebates and a single national medical rebate.

In order for us to share the hard facts with the Queensland Government about the cost of energy to you, and to assist in informing MS Queensland’s policy work we need you to complete a short survey by the end of April. We ask that you please complete this survey to provide further insight into the impacts of heat and energy usage on you. Please visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/energy2017

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Natalie Walsh at Natalie.walsh@msqld.org.au or 07 3840 0823.

MS LIFE – AUTUMN 2017

We hope we have seen the last of the heatwave temperatures that have been felt across our State during the past few months. A key advocacy priority for MS Queensland is the non-discretionary need to use energy for people living with MS and assistance to alleviate the financial burden for people with MS who incur large energy bills. Whilst there are rebates available (see msqld.org.au/site/msresources/energy) they do require you to have a pensioner concession card, healthcare card or Queensland Seniors Card.
