Simply forward your latest electricity and/or gas e-bill to the @smartme.com.au address you’ve been provided by your membership organisation or comparison provider. You’ll receive an email back in around 30 seconds, with either an offer from your current provider, an offer from a new provider, or confirmation that you’re on a great rate (ie $0 saving available)*.
If you choose to take up an offer (with current or new provider), it only takes around 2 minutes to switch. No call centres, no annoying call backs and no long forms to fill in, just your ID details.
Only SmartMe uses your unique bill data to accurately determine the energy offers best aligned to your needs. This is a completely unique proposition in the Australian market.
*Service not available for properties in WA, TAS and some areas in QLD as these are government regulated energy markets.
SmartMe considers offers from Australia's leading energy retailers to find the product that best aligns to your needs.
Your current provider may not have been able to offer a more competitive rate or SmartMe does not currently work with your energy retailer.
Comparison does not take into account concessions, payment processing fees, paper bill fees, green energy contributions, government rebates, guaranteed service level credits or any balances carried forward from previous bill, unless otherwise stated.
Comparison does take in to account the number of days of energy usage, the amount of kWh or MJ usage, the metering type of the energy consumed e.g. peak / off-peak / controlled load, usage pricing steps, solar feed-in and any discounts applied.
A good thing. Contracts protect the consumer, meaning the price you have been quoted won’t be put up for the duration of the contract. However, should you wish to switch providers, most contracts have a $0 break clause, meaning you can leave at any time without paying an exit fee. If your contract does have a break clause, it’s usually only around $30, which is often worth paying to save significantly more than that.
Yes, SmartMe is a completely free service for consumers.
SmartMe is paid a commission by the energy retailer that gets your business. The commission we are paid by energy retailers is an economical way for them to attract new customers, and in many cases costs less than their own advertising or sales activity.
Review the offers sent to you via email. Click the Get started button to be redirected to our website. Click the Apply now button on the offer you’d like to accept. Enter your personal details, read and accept the terms and conditions and click the submit button.
Once submitted, SmartMe will send your request on to your chosen retailer. They will either send you a welcome pack or call you if they have any questions regarding your request.
When you joined the SmartMe (after emailing your bill and accepting a great deal), you agreed that SmartMe would receive your future energy bills to allow us to provide our bill checking service. To do this, we have set you up with a SmartMe email address (see switch confirmation email we sent you). All correspondence from your energy retailer is automatically redirected from your SmartMe email address to your chosen email account. When speaking to your energy retailer, quote your SmartMe email address to access your account.
'Win-back' calls are common practice in the energy industry. If you take up a deal over the phone from your old provider, SmartMe will no longer receive your energy bill nor be able to provide our bill checking service.
SmartMe takes your privacy seriously. We only use your bill and personal information to compare your bill usage with other offers in the market and for the purposes of providing our services. We don't share your personal information with any third parties outside of what is required to deliver our services. Bill information we save in our own systems to complete the ongoing comparisons is separated from personal identification information. For more information, see our privacy policy on this website.
SmartMe uses secure encryption and security best practice to ensure our customer's information is kept secure.
