Turning Research Into Household Electrification

Rewiring Australia translates cutting-edge research into real-world policy change. Through evidence-based submissions, coalition-building, and direct engagement with decision-makers at state and federal levels, we're accelerating the transition to cheaper, cleaner, all-electric homes for every Australian.

With the right policies in place, we can permanently reduce energy bills, build healthier homes, and create thousands of jobs. Read all of our policy submissions here.
