Programs

Keeping people connected to energy, water and communications

ConnectEd provides utilities training, information sessions and individual case management for people across South Australia.

The program offers home energy visits from qualified assessors, and is adding telecommunications resources to the existing content on electricity, gas and water. Check the website at ConnectEd.org.au for the latest news and information.

Information sessions for community groups

A ConnectEd team member can come and talk to your community group. In a one to two hour session, we focus broadly on energy and water concerns in the community, as well as providing valuable information on ways to help maintain affordable household utilities.

We provide financial counselling case management for individuals and families experiencing difficulty with utilities bills, no matter how simple or complex the situation.
