01.01.2022 Support for SES volunteers and volunteer firefighters: AGL is a electricity and gas retailer and generator in some states and territories. AGL will support active volunteer firefighters and SES volunteers by providing them with a $150 credit per customer on their electricity or gas bills. The support is available to small business and residential customers.... Registered and active volunteer firefighters and SES volunteers should provide their volunteer ID number to AGL customer service staff and the credit will be applied to their next bill. We know that at a time like this, energy bills are probably the last thing on the minds of volunteers. But when they have time to think about their own position, they can contact AGL at their convenience on 131 245 at any time before 7 July 2020 to claim the credit. Our customer service centres are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For further information please follow this link https://www.agl.com.au/newcampaigns/bushfire-alerts
