The Home Rebate scheme has been introduced to encourage South Australian households to achieve greater water savings inside and outside the home. Rebates are available for approved water efficient products purchased on or after 1 November 2007. Home Water Audits were made available from 1 January 2008.

The Home Rebate scheme has now been extended to include not-for-profit and charitable organisations for eligible indoor goods (showerheads, washing machines, dual flush toilets). See the not-for-profit & charitable organisations rebate application form for details.

The rebates available are:

• Up to $30 for a low-flow (3 stars or more) showerhead.
• $150 for retrofitting a dual flush toilet suite.
• $200 for the purchase of a new water efficient (4 stars or more) washing machine.
• $50 rebate when you spend $150 or more on specified water efficient garden goods.
• $100 rebate for a Home Water Audit plus the installation of up to 2 free low flow showerheads.
• Between $200 and $1000 towards the cost of purchasing and plumbing a rainwater tank to retrofit into your home

Who is eligible for the rebate?

Rebates are available to all residential properties regardless of whether the property is connected to SA Water mains supply, subject to specific eligibility criteria.

Rebates are available to both homeowners and tenants (please see application forms for full terms and conditions). Tenants will need to present a letter from the property owner to be eligible for the low–flow showerhead, dual flush toilets, rainwater tank plumbing rebates and the Home Water Audit rebate.

You will need to supply us with your proof of purchase and installation (where appropriate). Rebates are not available on rented, leased or hired products.

The product will need to have been purchased and installed on or after 1 November 2007 (for rainwater tank rebates see application form for date eligibility). Full terms and conditions for each rebate are available on the application forms.
