Core requirements
- Eligible residential property in Victoria
- Uninsulated, or existing insulation below R2.0
- Safe access for inspection and installation
- Completed installation can achieve at least R5.0
- Electrical safety assessment completed; hazards rectified
- Eligible product and compliant installation method
- Property has not already received the applicable benefit
“Below R2.0” means exactly that
Insulation at R2.0 is not the same as below R2.0. An uninsulated ceiling may also qualify. Only an on-site assessment confirms the genuine pre-upgrade condition.
Usually not eligible
- Areas that cannot be safely accessed or verified
- Eaves, garages, porches, verandahs and many voids
- Work that does not achieve the required completed R-value
- Removing insulation only to appear eligible
Existing insulation must not be removed merely to make an otherwise ineligible property appear eligible. Removal for contamination or damage may still be quoted separately.

Eligibility FAQs
The activity is intended for uninsulated ceilings and eligible under-insulated ceilings where the existing insulation is below R2.0. Insulation at R2.0 is not the same as below R2.0. Final eligibility must be established through the required assessment process.
General Victorian homes are eligible from 1 October 2026. Before that date, only public and community housing could proceed.
Existing insulation must not be removed merely to make an otherwise ineligible property appear eligible. Eligibility is based on the genuine pre-upgrade condition. Removal may still be appropriate when old insulation is contaminated, damaged, unsafe or unsuitable to retain, but it may be quoted separately.
No. ReInsulate can provide an initial estimate, but final eligibility, ceiling area, installation scope, certificate quantity and financial benefit depend on inspection, required safety checks, supporting evidence and Accredited Provider approval.
Eligible rental properties may participate when the program requirements are met. The landlord or authorised representative must provide the required consent, tenant access must be coordinated and each property must be assessed separately.
