Origin Home Assist – fixed rates for your energy plan
On a fixed (or guaranteed) energy plan, the energy rates you sign up for today won’t change for 12 months.
Origin Home Assist Variable – a flexible rate energy plan
Your energy plan has flexible rates, which means what you pay for energy could go up or down during the 12 month period. We might change our prices from time to time – we’ll always let you know beforehand.
Your great energy plan includes AGA’s 24/7 Emergency Home Assistance service – that connects you to qualified tradespeople to attend to 10 common emergencies in your home.
Your 12-month AGA Emergency Home Assistance membership will start on the same day as your energy plan.

Great for homeowners and landlords
No matter whether you own or lease out, the AGA Emergency Home membership as part of Origin Home Assist can help you arrange tradespeople for 10 common home emergencies 24 hours a day. Some terms and exclusions do apply.
Getting electricity and natural gas together
Need natural gas for your home as well? Tick. You can sign up for natural gas at the same time if you like. Origin Home Assist is an electricity plan only. So, if you change or cancel Origin Home Assist, you’ll lose your AGA Emergency Home Assistance membership.
Moving house with Home Assist
Origin Home Assist is connected to the address you sign up with. So, if you move house during the 12-month benefit period of the plan, your plan and its benefits will end. Don’t stress though. Simply select Origin Home Assist as your new plan when you move house (so long as it’s still available). Your new AGA Emergency Home Assistance membership will commence on your new Origin Home Assist start date.
Emergency Home Assistance membership cost with Origin Home Assist Variable
The Origin Home Assist Variable plan gives you membership to the Emergency Home Assistance program, provided by Allianz Global Assistance for 12 months. Please refer to your contract pack to see your specific daily charge for the membership on this plan.
Ending your membership
Cancelling your energy plan or switching to another Origin plan during your 12-month benefit period will end your AGA Emergency Home Assistance membership.
With this great plan, we don’t want anyone to miss out on Emergency Home Assistance benefits. But you can always make the switch to another Origin energy plan if you feel this one’s not quite right – and we won’t charge you any exit fees.
