• Maximise the effect of your heating. When you do need to turn the heating on, be sure to close the doors to any rooms that you aren’t using. This stops the heat moving into unoccupied parts of the home.

• Don’t turn the heat up too high. Resist the temptation to turn the temperature on your heater or air conditioner up too high. Use the lowest temperature that feels comfortable. Just a 1° degree reduction in the temperature setting on your heating can reduce your bill by 10%.

• Think of ways to heat yourself. Layer up with jumpers, socks, scarves, long sleeves and blankets to keep your body warm. You can also warm up with hot drinks like tea, or use hot water bottles.

Key Worker Housing

Key worker housing is affordable housing reserved for people who are employed as a key worker in front line services that are important for the community. Key workers who may be eligible are those working in essential industries such as aged care, health care, education, emergency services, law enforcement and childcare. Offering these workers affordable housing allows them to live nearby their place of work without falling into housing stress, benefiting the wider community by ensuring that there is a steady supply of key workers in the area.
