  • ElectricityWizard makes available to you through the Website (and then its call centre) the service of comparing your current electricity expenses and contract terms to those offered by ElectricityWizard’s Preferred Partners (“the Service”).
  • If you request the Service by submitting your details to ElectricityWizard via the Website, an ElectricityWizard representative will contact you to ask you a list of qualifying questions in order to determine whether ElectricityWizard can assist you either to reduce your electricity costs or obtain more favorable contract terms (“the Questions”).
  • You acknowledge and agree that ElectricityWizard’s assessment of your electricity expenses and contract terms are dependent on the accuracy of your answers to the Questions.
  • In providing the Service, ElectricityWizard will rely solely on the product, pricing and service information provided by its Preferred Partner(s) (“Preferred Partner Information”). Whilst Electricity Wizard uses its best endeavors to ensure the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the Preferred Partner Information, it may be subject to change and accordingly ElectricityWizard does not guarantee and will not be responsible for any damage or loss related to the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any Preferred Partner Information.
  • ElectricityWizard does not warrant or represent that in providing the Service it bases the information on all or a majority of electricity suppliers. The information available to ElectricityWizard is limited to the Preferred Partner Information of the Preferred Partners.
  • If ElectricityWizard does not believe it can assist you to reduce your electricity bills through its Preferred Partner(s), it may recommend that you make enquiries with a third party electricity supplier which is not affiliated with Electricity Wizard (“Non-Affiliated Supplier(s)”). Electricity Wizard’s recommendation will be based on information obtained directly from the Non-Affiliated Supplier or through the Non-Affiliated Supplier’s website. Electricity Wizard does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any information relating to a Non-Affiliated Supplier. For the avoidance of doubt, Electricity Wizard makes no representation or warranty in relation to any recommendation provided to you in relation to product, pricing and services of Non-Affiliated Suppliers.
  • If you accept Electricity Wizard’s offer to the supply or transfer of your electricity supply to ElectricityWizard’s Preferred Partner, you acknowledge and agree that ElectricityWizard:
    • Will provide your Personal Information collected from the Website (whether by you completing the online form and/or by telephone) to the Preferred Partner;
    • Will not be a party to your agreement or contract with the Preferred Partner for the purpose of transferring your electricity supply from your current retailer to the Preferred Partner; and
    • May receive a commission from the Preferred Partner which will be independent to and have no effect on the terms of your contract or agreement with the Preferred Partner.

Whilst ElectricityWizard endeavours to keep all information on the Website up to date, it does not guarantee the accuracy of information given on the Website. Website Content provides an outline only of Preferred Partner Information and is not intended to provide a comprehensive view. You should check the exact terms and conditions in relation to the particular product before you agree to be bound by the Preferred Partner’s terms and conditions.

  • Based on the postcode and suburb you provide we assume your distribution zone. This information combined with the rates supplied to us by our suppliers allow us to determine the Estimated Cost for each plan.
  • The residential household size assumptions are based on data collected from various sources including the AER (Australian Energy Regulator)^. The business consumption estimates are based on data collected internally.
  • If you choose “Unsure” as your meter type to “How are you charged for electricity?” on the About You page, we will assume you have a Single Rate meter.
  • We only show the main tariff types for each distributor. There are other tariff types that you may be on, though we are unable to list every single one on the website. Additionally, some suburbs cover multiple distribution zones which may have an impact in our calculations. Please call our call centre to get a more accurate comparison in these regards.

  • If you don’t have a bill available, we will use your household size to assume how much electricity and gas you use. In addition to this, we assume:
    • Your property has a single rate meter.
    • That your billing cycle is 91 days. The only exception to this is a gas bill in Victoria, which we assume is 60 days.
  • We base our estimations off either the data you provide to us or the assumptions we make in the case that you don’t have a bill. This estimation does not take into account the fluctuations of energy usage over an annual period and we do not advise you to annualise the Estimated Cost.

  • By selecting discounts at the Product Options stage you are determining which discounts will be applied to the Estimated Cost of each plan on the Results page.
  • By selecting which Product Features you’d like in a plan, and selecting to sort by these Product Features, the plans on the Results page will be sorted based on the features of each plan.
  • When selecting to sort by lowest cost, the plans on the Results page will rank from cheapest to most expensive based on the Estimated Cost.
  • In the case where two or more plans share the same Estimated Cost or product features, they will be sorted alphabetically on the Results page.

  • The Estimated Cost has GST applied by default and any discounts selected will also be applied.
  • Guaranteed discounts are applied by default, as you will get these discounts regardless.
  • The Estimated Cost for each plan is based on both the usage and billing period provided or assumed on the About You page
  • Any credits, bonuses or rebates are not applied to the Estimated Cost. Additionally, we do not include the value of any incentives/free gifts into the Estimated Cost.
