A bequest, or legacy, can be the most important gift you ever give.  By remembering the Smart Energy Council in your Will you are helping to ensure that the uptake and development of smart energy solutions in Australia continues.

When making an update just need to let your solicitor know your intentions. There is no obligation to let us know and you can change your mind at any time.

We appreciate that family and loved ones should always come first, and believe that it is an important step to talk to them about your Will and let them know of your intentions, should you choose to leave a bequest to the Smart Energy Council.
