Support for community agencies

Community agencies are ideally placed to show clients how to access Sydney Water services as economically as possible – especially if they face financial hardship. We can provide resources to help you explore the options.

Payment Assistance Scheme access

Accredited community agencies can offer emergency relief to eligible clients struggling to pay their water bill through our Payment Assistance Scheme (PAS). It's one more way you can support your clients.

People eligible for PAS are:

  • Sydney Water customers who own and live in their own home
  • tenants who pay for their own water.

If you're not yet accredited, apply to become an accredited community agency now. To find out more about how PAS works, please email us.


Free speakers for community events

As a council or community organisation, you can invite someone from our Customer Care team to local events. Let us tailor a presentation to explain the range of support options available to Sydney Water customers in your community. We can even set up a stall at your local festival. Need an interpreter on-site? Just ask.

Topics we can cover, in person or online:

  • information and eligibility for PAS credits for homeowners and tenants experiencing hardship
  • payment plan options
  • pensioner concession and other rebates
  • plumbing programs
  • tips on saving water.

Invite us to organise a free presentation or stall at your community event. Call the Customer Care team on 1800 222 280 9am–5pm Monday to Friday (except public holidays).

Programs and events in your community
We can also provide everything from interactive pop-up events to educational sessions and guided tours. Take a look at our programs and events.
