Sustainability Victoria is working to drive improved energy efficiency standards and accelerate the transition to 7-star homes.

There are several ways to participate:

Stream A: Rebates

Sustainability Victoria is working with registered builders and land developers to design and build 7-star NatHERS rated homes.

This includes:

  • $4,000 rebates per home, for up to 4 homes built, to assist with upgrade costs
  • as-built verification assessment to ensure homes are built to achieve the same efficiency rating as designed
  • 6-to-7-star training, online and in person, to support the design process and to upskill employees
  • exclusive sales and marketing training designed especially for selling energy-efficient homes.

Stream A rebates are now fully subscribed. Visit Participating builders to view the list of builders and land developers who are collaborating with us to build 7-star homes.

For full details on the Stream A program requirements, read the 7 Star Homes program guidelines.

Stream B: free ABV testing

Sustainability Victoria is working to ensure the quality of new 7-star NatHERS rated homes. Free as-built verification (ABV) testing is available to 7-star homes built between 01 July 2022 and 30 June 2023. Applications are now open.
