Find the savings with new app

A new ‘Savings Finder’ will help Victorians quickly and easily access discounts, rebates, and savings, with the service available via a handy app or on the Service Victoria website.

The Service Victoria Savings Finder asks a few simple questions such as your age, what utility bills your regularly pay, and whether you own or are looking to purchase a vehicle, to help personalise your experience.

From the popular $250 Power Saving Bonus – which has been taken up by over 1.4 million households since July – to discounts on solar panels, hot water systems, education and recreation, the Savings Finder offers a range of options to help Victorians during the current cost of living crisis.

“We know every dollar counts – the Savings Finder is a simple way for households and individuals to get full value from Victorian Government discounts, rebates and savings out there,” Minister for Government Services Danny Pearson said.

The Savings Finder currently features over 60 discounts, rebates, and savings, and more are being added regularly.

Concession card holders can check their eligibility for discounted motor vehicle registration and TAC fees, as well as for reductions on gas bills through the colder months, while casual and contract workers can use the Savings Finder to check whether they can claim the Victorian Sick Pay Guarantee, to receive a day’s pay when they can’t go to work due to illness.

The Savings Finder builds on more than 90 government services already available through the Service Victoria website and mobile app, making Service Victoria a one stop shop for Victorians to get the services they need.

Also available is a new online help tool for small businesses to find the permits and licences they need to operate, which can be done in around five minutes.

To access the Savings Finder, go to service.vic.gov.au, or download the app at the App Store or Google Play.
