The Australian Government today announced a series of changes, to the administration of the environmental programs to boost safety and improve environmental performance.
These changes are aimed at boosting safety for households and safety for the workers whose employment is funded by these important environmental programs.
Significant Changes to Green Loans Program
The Government will help over an additional 600,000 Australian households tackle climate change through a re-designed and extended Green Loans program.
That is on top of the 360,000 assessments already available under the program, of which more than 270,000 have already been booked nationwide.
The re-design of the program will include:
- the discontinuation of the less popular loans component next month to provide for the significant boost to assessment availability;
- a new cap of 5000 assessors, allowing up to an extra 1200 trained assessors to contract with the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts;
- a weekly cap of 15,000 assessment bookings and a daily and weekly cap per assessor of three and five respectively to ensure greater quality and a more even distribution of work for assessors right around the nation;
- changed booking arrangements allowing only individual assessors to make bookings.
