Residents in the Lismore area can now get help with accessing government rebates and savings with the town’s NSW Service Centre now offering cost of living advice to locals.
The new service was launched on August 3, with locals now able to make a booking online or over the phone for an appointment with a specialist.
The appointments will focus on helping locals to access more than 40 NSW Government rebates and incentives, including potential savings on energy bills, transport and health costs.
Minister for Finance, Services and Property Victor Dominello said the service would be tailored to each individual or family who came through the door.
‘Families are key beneficiaries through programs such as Active Kids vouchers and the Family Energy Rebate,’ Mr Dominello said.
‘The process is simple and easy and can be done online, over the phone or face to face.’
The service can be accessed by visiting: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/cost-living, calling 13 77 88 or making an appointment with a Cost of Living Specialist at the Lismore Service NSW Centre at 58 Ballina Road, Lismore.

A note from the editorial team
Some of The Echo’s editorial team: journalists Paul Bibby and Aslan Shand, editor Hans Lovejoy, photographer Jeff Dawson and Mandy Nolan
“The Echo has never underestimated the intelligence and passion of its readers. In a world of corporate banality and predictability, The Echo has worked hard for more than 30 years to help keep Byron and the north coast unique with quality local journalism and creative ideas. We think this area needs more voices, reasoned analysis and ideas than just those provided by News Corp, lifestyle mags, Facebook groups and corporate newsletters.
The Echo is one hundred per cent locally owned and one hundred per cent independent. As you have probably gathered from what is happening in the media industry, it is not cheap to produce a weekly newspaper and a daily online news service of any quality.
We have always relied entirely on advertising to fund our operations, but often loyal readers who value our local, independent journalism have asked how they could help ensure our survival.
Any support you can provide to The Echo will make an enormous difference. You can make a one-off contribution or a monthly one. With your help, we can continue to support a better informed local community and a healthier democracy for another 30 years.”
