Walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men, women, and their families, we guide their journey through every stage of the justice system.
The First Nations Home Energy Support Programme
The First Nations Home Energy Support Programme provides assistance to the community to help their clients have low energy usage, and to ensure their energy bills are as low as possible. The HES team not only provides assistance for this to happen, but they also help connect their clients with assistance where they have lost or they are at risk of loosing power supply. There are six areas where assistance is provided.
At Yeddung Mura Home and Energy Support (HES), we’re here to walk alongside you, helping you manage your energy bills, keep your home powered, and reduce financial stress. Your journey is ours, and we’ll work quickly with you to find solutions that fit your needs.
