| Home Insulation Program Guidelines |
The Energy Efficient Homes Package, as part of the Australian Government's Nation Building – Economic Stimulus Plan, aims to stimulate the economy, supporting thousands of jobs in manufacturing, distribution and installation in the midst of an economic downturn.
The Home Insulation Program is a key part of this package. Under the Program, assistance of up to $1,600 is available to help eligible owner-occupiers, landlords and tenants install new Ceiling Insulation in their existing privately-owned homes, rental and other properties.
The Home Insulation Program, which incorporates the Homeowner Insulation Program and the Low Emission Assistance Plan for Renters which ran from 3 February 2009 to 31 August 2009, is capped at $2.7 billion.
This booklet provides guidelines for installations from 1 September 2009 until 31 December 2011 or until the date when Program funds have been fully allocated, whichever occurs first.
Under the Home Insulation Program, the assistance is paid directly to the insulation installer, on behalf of the Householder, and $1,600 is expected to cover the cost of insulating an average home, so for most people there should be no more to pay.
