Federal Government Seeks Energy Assessors for NatHERS Expansion

The Federal Government is calling for expressions of interest to train energy assessors as part of the expansion of the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS). This initiative, now extended to include existing homes, aims to help Australian households understand their energy performance, identify upgrades, and reduce energy bills.

The government plans to train over 40 participants to conduct home energy assessments as part of a trial running across Australia, including regional areas, from late 2024 to 2025. Assessors will provide critical feedback to refine tools and processes for NatHERS' broader rollout.

Subsidised Training: Free training tailored to NatHERS for existing homes.

Practical Experience: Real-world opportunities to conduct assessments.

Accreditation Pathway: A streamlined route to becoming a certified NatHERS assessor.

The program is open to individuals with varied experience levels, including:

New Entrants: No prior experience needed.

Property or Construction Professionals: Those with related sector expertise.

Experienced Assessors: Accredited professionals under NatHERS or other efficiency schemes.

Join this initiative to contribute to Australia's energy transition while building expertise in a growing field. For more details, visit the NatHERS website.
