Organise my move in MyAccount
When you organise your move with us, we can wrap up the connection at your current address, and connect the new one for you. That way, when your life becomes a jungle of cardboard boxes, the energy stuff will be right where you left it.

If your meter is inside the property or if you're in NSW or QLD and the power has been disconnected, you'll definitely need to be at home for your connection.
If you expect to be away from the property the day of your connection, make sure ahead of time that your meter is accessible or can be read remotely.
If you’re moving in, we'll connect your electricity on the date you request (which can be as soon as the next business day, depending on your situation). This is usually pretty straightforward if there's no issue accessing your meter and it's been switched off at the main switch. If you’re not at the property yet, you can check this with your real estate agent.
Normally, the gas supply is left on between tenants, unless it was disconnected when the previous tenant was there. If that's the case, we'll notify the distributor and they should reconnect it within 48 hours.
If you’re staying where you are, there won’t be any disruption to your energy. Once we’ve officially ‘taken over’ your meter, we’ll let you know.
Your distributor charges a disconnection and reconnection fee, which depends on your meter type and location. You'll see the fee(s) on your bill from us. To find out what your fees will be, head to our fees and charges page.
