Councils across Australia use Rebately to make it easy for households to claim cash rebates for green behaviours.  

Traditionally, rebate programs are a massive time sink to manage and harder to engage with for residents than they should be. We remove the workload for councils (by around 90%!), allowing you to engage many more households to trial more sustainable behaviours, at a much lower program management cost and far higher service delivery outcome. 

Our custom-built approval engine handles all resident communications and detects fraud that would otherwise result in substantial budget wastage. We pay residents on your behalf, saving your accounts team from making many small payments, simplifying your accounting to one statement and invoice per month. 

You can rebate any product or service, so long as it is environmentally or socially positive – from cloth baby nappies to solar panels, from water-saving devices to re-usable coffee cups, community gardening equipment, and more.
