Inclusion and diversity are central to our workplace. Today our employees were encouraged to show their support for #wearitpurpleday – a day to celebrate our inclusive and safe work environment where everyone can be proud of who they are.

As a full signatory to The Energy Charter, Essential Energy is proud to be working with other like-minded energy organisations to create a better energy future for all Australians. Through collaboration and innovation, we are continuously striving for better outcomes for all our customers. Many people in our communities are facing increasing energy prices and other cost-of-living pressures. With ongoing energy concessions currently available nationally, to help reduce the burden of electricity and gas bills, we are still seeing around 40% of eligible people not taking them up. We encourage all our customers to contact their energy retailer today to check their eligibility for a concession. #keepthemoneyitsyours #energyconcessions #energy #costofliving #energybillsavings

I will be working to ensure women are equally represented, engaged in, and benefiting from the work we do." #GenderEquality #Leadership #JoinTheChange
