Need support with your water bill or accessing concessions?

Water bills can be confusing, and some people feel worried or stressed about water costs.

Water Wise Communities is a project that helps people understand water bills, water use, and the support that may be available.

The project supports people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities across South Australia and is delivered by the Australian Migrant Resource Centre (AMRC) in partnership with the Department for Environment and Water.

Who can get help?

You may be able to get help if you:

  • rent your home
  • own your home
  • pay for water as part of your rent
  • have a low income
  • hold an eligible card or receive an eligible Centrelink payment

Help is free and available to everyone.

How AMRC can support you:

  • Check if you may be eligible for water concessions or other support
  • Talk to SA Water or your service provider about your water bill
  • Apply for lower water costs through the Department of Human Services
  • Understand letters and forms
