Dr Lynne Chester, an academic researcher from the University of Sydney, is investigating the impact of higher energy prices on low-income households.

As part of this research, Dr Chester is conducting a survey of low-income households. The online survey is being used to collect information about household energy use, the size of energy bills, the income needed to pay these bills, and the consequences for low-income households of rising energy costs. The survey will take about 15-20 minutes to complete.

The information collected may potentially be useful for submissions to the Annual Wage Review and other advocacy on behalf low-income workers.

We urge you to take the time to complete this survey and pass onto your family, friends and colleagues. Further details and the survey can be found here.
