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.
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
**positive acceptance vibes** yeah I was going to suggest that the Department of Housing in QLD should be able to help with Bond so that you could use those $$ for electricity connection fees etc... Have you tried your local charities to see if there is anything they can help you with?
