Apply for a concession

How does it work?

Eligible concession card holders get a 50 per cent deduction on water and sewerage charges.

The Victorian Government offers a variety of concessions and benefits to eligible cardholders to assist low-income Victorians with their water and sewerage bills.

To get a water and sewerage concession on your bill, you need one of these cards:

• Centrelink Health Care Card
• Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card
• Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card

The address on the card must match the address on the bill.

What you’ll need

To apply for a water and sewerage concession, you need to provide:

• Concession card type and number
• Wannon Water account number
• Name
• Date of birth
• Service address
• Telephone number.

You can find the service address and account number on your water bill.

If you did not claim a concession when you became a concession card holder, contact us. You may be eligible for retrospective credit for up to 12 months.

Conditions

• The service address must be the applicant’s principal place of residence.
• The name and address on the concession card must match the name and service address on the water bill.
• If you’re using a Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card, the service address on the water bill must match the address that’s registered with the Department of Veteran Affairs.
• If the address does not match, contact Services Australia or Department of Veteran Affairs to change the address before you apply.
• When you apply for a concession, you authorise us to continue to confirm your eligibility with Services Australia or Department of Veteran Affairs.
