The program includes rebates for washing machines, fridges, dryers, dishwashers, air-conditioners and hot water systems.
This comes on top of electricity bill rebates of $550 and $1072 for senior and concession card holders.
It's estimated that making the switch from 2 to 4 star appliances could save individual Queensland households hundreds to thousands of dollars a year and reduce Queensland's CO2 emissions by thousands of tonnes each year.
Low income households will be able to claim the most on appliances, however all Queenslanders will be eligible to access cost-of-living support on selected appliances.
To be eligible for the low-income additional component, individual applicants must meet the Low Income Tax Offset threshold as defined by the ATO.
Rebates, limited to one per household, will be available until the program's funding is exhausted.
