Webinar: How to win a Healthy Homes Plan for NSW

Join this webinar organised by the Nature Conservation Council to hear from experts on how improving energy efficiency helps fight climate change and why a Healthy Homes Plan will support rental homes (which are 1/3 of homes in NSW) to be more affordable and liveable.

How to win a Healthy Homes Plan for NSW

Everyone deserves to live in a home that isn’t freezing in winter or boiling in summer – and doesn’t cost a fortune to heat and cool. But many homes in NSW (especially rentals) have no insulation, no solar panels, and outdated appliances, causing expensive bills and forcing people to live in unhealthy temperatures.  

NSW needs a Healthy Homes Plan to make sure every rental property meets minimum energy standards with insulation, draught sealing, and efficient appliances.  

Join this webinar organised by the Nature Conservation Council to hear from experts on how improving energy efficiency helps fight climate change and why a Healthy Homes Plan will support rental homes (which are 1/3 of homes in NSW) to be more affordable and liveable.

Speakers:

  • Kristen McDonald, Director of Strategic Programs at Rewiring Australia, will unpack the relationship between improving the energy efficiency of our homes and fighting climate change, plus the savings you could get on your energy bill with a more efficient and electric home.
  • Leo Patterson Ross, Chief Executive Officer at Tenants’ Union of NSW, will speak to the experience of renters in NSW and why minimum energy standards are needed to ensure rentals are healthy and liveable.
  • Eve Altman, Clean Energy Campaigner at the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, will share NCC’s strategy to win a Healthy Homes Plan in the upcoming NSW election and how you can help make it happen.
