Help with your power bill You may have recently noticed a big drop in your last energy bill . That ’ s due to a special cost of living relief measure by the Albanese Government . Every household in our area was eligible to get a one off $ 300 payment to help with their bill .
Also , 100 percent of taxpayers in our area should have seen a better pay packet because of our 1 July tax cuts . Our tax cuts deliver an average $ 1,406 off cost-of-living relief for people in Chifley .
Finally , a freeze in the cost of medicine prices on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is helping everyone getting PBS medicines in our area .
These are just some of the things the Federal Government has put in place to help you with your costs of living .

Young minds thinking big
During National Science Week I asked local students to tell me their vision for Western Sydney in 2040 .
From re-designing Mount Druitt Town Centre to biotopia towns to new ways of making recyclable plastics , these young minds are thinking big about a sustainable future .
I visited a number of schools to see firsthand students showcasing their ideas to improve our area .
Well done to the students from Rooty Hill High School , Australian Islamic College Sydney , Doonside Public School , Doonside Technology High , Plumpton High School and Plumpton Public School for putting their big ideas on display .
If I can be of assistance about a Federal matter , please do not hesitate to contact my office . Seel my details below .
