The goal is to help tenants cut their utility bills and reduce their emissions.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatsouthernbank.com.au\/about\/news\/mission-australia\">media release<\/a>, the bank explained the initiative is part of a wider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatsouthernbank.com.au\/about\/sustainability\/social\/financial-inclusion-action-plan\">financial inclusion action plan<\/a> it has had in place in place since 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/helping-community-housing-mission-australia-paul-lewis\/\">this LinkedIn post<\/a>, Great Southern Bank CEO and managing director Paul Lewis explained the partnership includes \u201cfunds for installing solar panels, insulation, window glazing, LED lighting, and energy and water meters\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI believe this partnership with Mission Australia could make a difference in the lives of people who often have little or no financial safety net. Much credit for this goes to Sharon Callister and the Mission Australia team for making it possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the homes that will be upgraded are over 40 years old and amongst the least energy efficient in the country. The tenants are mostly on low to medium incomes and will be able to redirect savings from lower utility bills towards essentials such as food and medication.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new partnership follows the August launch of a \u201cgreen loans\u201d package for Great Southern Bank borrowers, which offers concessional interest rates on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hybrid and electric cars (via a car dealer or private seller)<\/li>\n<li>EV chargers (when buying a hybrid or electric car)<\/li>\n<li>Solar panels<\/li>\n<li>Battery packs<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/hot-water\/heat-pump\/\">Hot water heat pumps<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Solar hot water systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bank\u2019s chief customer officer Megan Keleher said more than 60 percent of borrowers consider sustainability \u201ca priority in their financial decisions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Great Southern Bank said qualifying criteria for the loans include, among other things, the size of the solar and battery systems, the professional accreditation of any retailers or installers, and the type and model of any electric or hybrid vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><em>On a related note, learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solarfinance.html\">financing a solar power system<\/a> &#8211;
