A new website that lets Queenslanders find out more about all the concessions and rebates that may be available to them has been launched by the State Government.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the State Government said it will commit $5.3 billion in the upcoming State Budget to help Queenslanders\u2019 household budgets.<\/p>\n

“My Government knows the importance of Queenslanders having a job and being able to support their families,” Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.<\/p>\n

“That is why we have increased the access to electricity rebates and, ahead of the State Budget, are launching a dedicated website to ensure Queenslanders are aware of all the concessions and rebates that are available for them.<\/p>\n

“For the 2017-18 financial year, the Government is allocating an extra $400 million for a total of $5.3 billion. That’s the equivalent of more than $1000 for every Queenslander, or the equivalent of more than $100 million every week.”<\/p>\n

“I am concerned too many people just don\u2019t know what they\u2019re entitled to, let alone how much they could benefit.”<\/p>\n
