    Good luck!!!

    In regards to electricity, you can get a discount on your winter bills with your pension card. You can also go on a fortnightly payment plan through the provider which you can either have direct debited or bpay. You can even have it taken out of your Centrelink payments, I think that's called Centrepay. Connection could be free seeing as you have a pension card too. No idea on companies though. I'm with TRU Energy and have never had any issues. Maybe shop around for the best deal, you might even be able to bargain with them

    Good luck. Hope you hear back soon

    No idea about electricity, but as far as I remember it is about $80 to get connected (not sure if it is the same in all states though) and you might be able to get it cheaper on the pension, worth a try to ask.

    Thx girls will keep you updated!!

    had a look at the department of housing and they have bond assistance which will be great as i only really have enough for the bond n rent for the first 2 weeks and a few extra for little bits and peices i'll need if i get it so its going to be pretty tight for awhile but i'm hoping electricity wont be too much *fingers crossed* hate this waiting whether i have it or not
