Insulation Grant Update: The Free Insulation Grant is now over. The Australian Government stopped the free insulation grant during February of 2010. Dispite what you may see in search engines, it is now finished.

The Australian Government Home Insulation Grants offers ceiling & lofts insulation worth up to $1,200 to the occupiers, landlords and tenants of Australian property. The Australian Government has allocated $3.9 billion dollars towards insulation homes across Australia.

The insulation grant program is aimed at homes that are uninsulated to date, currently utilised little ceiling insulation and were built before the thermal performance requirements under the Building Code of Australia were introduced commencing in 2003.

This will be the case for most households, home owners and tenants. If the cost of the insulation is more than $1,200, the householder will ordinarily have to pay the difference or the full amount if turn out be illegible, this often provides a large discount towards insulating a large property.
