Predictable plan

The Predictable Plan option lets you pay a fixed amount for your gas consumption for a period of 12 months no matter how much energy you use. You can choose to pay this fixed amount every month or fortnightly.

Multiple payment options

With Origin you can choose from a range of both online and offline payment options. You can pay your energy bills via credit card, direct debit, BPAY or Centrepay which is a convenient option if you receive support payments from Centrelink. If you don’t want to pay your energy bill online, you can do it the good old fashioned way via a cheque or money order or in person at the post office.

Manage your account online

It only takes a few minutes to sign up for an online Origin Energy account. From checking your account summary and paying your energy bills to tracking your energy use over time you’ll be able to fully manage your energy account from the comfort of your couch.

Concessions

Do your homework on the government concessions and rebates available in your state as well as any specific eligibility requirements. For instance if you’re using a life support machine, you may be eligible for a rebate across a number of states including Victoria, Queensland and NSW. You can apply for any appropriate concessions via your online Origin Energy account or fill in the concession card form.

Power On program

Origin’s Power On gives eligible customers, who are experiencing hardship and in danger of getting disconnected, access to information and bill payment assistance options to help them manage their energy bills.

    I am a part of many Australians who think we are overpriced for our energy resources so I choose not to participate in this field

    I've only been with Origin Energy for around 9 months so far and haven't had serious issues. They're very understanding of you can't afford to pay your bill all upfront and will offer you a payment plan that you can afford. I have realised my bills are quite expensive though but I don't know whether it is the company or the rises in the cost of living
