Households have given the NSW Government’s cost of living programs the thumbs up, with $1.5 billion saved state wide since July last year.

“There are more than 70 rebates and savings available across Government that could potentially save households hundreds of dollars a year,” Stuart Ayres said.

“We are committed to easing cost of living pressure for families which is why we transformed Service NSW into a one-stop shop for household savings.

“Whether it’s a $100 Creative Kids voucher, a Senior Savers Card or a better energy deal, hip pocket relief is available.

“Checking your eligibility and making a saving is simple and easy and can be done online or in person at an appointment with a cost of living specialist at Service NSW.”

• 29,491 cost of living appointments, saving customers $14 million, with an average saving of $550;
• 10,999 customers saving $4,376,805 through Energy Switch, with an average electricity saving of $440 and $134 for gas;
• 121,057 drivers saving $48,971,586 in free rego and 14,000 drivers saving $3 million in half rego;
