The Rebate Group makes energy efficiency simple — helping Australian installers and homeowners get the government rebates they're entitled to on eligible energy upgrades, handled properly the first time.
When a household or business installs something like a heat-pump hot water system, a high-efficiency air conditioner or rooftop solar, they're entitled to a rebate under government energy programs. That value is delivered through tradeable certificates. We're an accredited provider and registered agent, which means we can create those certificates, lodge them with the regulator and sell them to the energy retailers required to buy them — that's where the value comes from.
In practice: the installer does the physical work, we handle all the paperwork and certificate creation, and the value flows back as a discount or payment to the customer. Without accreditation a business simply can't take part — it's the licence that lets us operate, and it takes strict compliance to hold.
Our mission is to make energy rebates simple, compliant and worthwhile — so more Australian homes upgrade to efficient energy, and installers get paid faster while we handle the rest. It's why we set out to be the rebate partner installers and homeowners trust first: the boutique name known for getting it right, every time.
A small, dedicated team — not a call centre. When you need us, you reach a real person, every time.
Our founder spent 9 years auditing across KPMG and Grant Thornton — we know what compliance standards look like and apply that rigour to every single job.
We review your documentation as the job happens — catching issues on the spot, so you never have to return to site.
Once all compliance documentation is received, we target payment within a week. No waiting, no guessing.
A licensed electrician and an ex-Big-Four auditor under one roof — we speak your language and know the realities of running a trade business.
A simple, purpose-built portal for all your VEU lodgements — and our installers are giving it great feedback.
Whether you're an installer or a homeowner, we manage the rebate from documentation to payment.
Bring us your jobs — we review documentation in real time, create and lodge certificates, and get you paid. So you can offer a discount and win more work, with real-time support from people who know the job.
Want an upgrade and the rebate that comes with it? We connect you with a trusted installer from our network and manage the whole rebate process for you.
We handle rebates under two government programs — the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) scheme and the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). For a plain-English rundown of how each one works and how the certificates are calculated, see the FAQs.
We're a VEU Accredited Provider (A003134) and an SRES Registered Agent — so we manage both state and federal rebates end to end. Our accreditation covers water heating (heat-pump & solar, replacing electric or gas), high-efficiency air conditioning, commercial & non-residential lighting, induction cooktops, and commercial & industrial solar.
We create the certificates and pass your rebate value on straight away — as a discount to consumers or a payment to installers. We then lodge and sell the certificates on our own timeline, so you're never waiting on the market.
Accreditation isn't optional — without it, a business can't take part in these schemes at all. It's the licence that lets us create and lodge certificates, and holding it means meeting strict compliance and eligibility requirements. That's the rigour we bring to every claim, so your rebate holds up.
