Dr Duncan McFetridge MP

I was proud and honoured to be elected as the Member for Morphett in March 2002 and re-elected in March 2006 and March 2010. The people of Morphett are extremely important to me, so don't be afraid to get in touch, no matter how trivial you think your problem may be. If it's important to you then it's important to me.

I currently hold the shadow portfolios of Communities & Social Inclusion; Volunteers; Disabilities; Social Housing; Youth; Mental Health & Substance Abuse; and Suicide Prevention.

Free Energy Advisory Service
Friday, 14 September 2012 01:27

I would like to inform you about a new service provided by the South Australian Government to assist people in reducing their energy consumption.

The Energy Advisory Service provides free independent information, advice and resources to help minimise energy use and reduce related greenhouse gas emissions without compromising on comfort.

 The Advisory Service can also assist low income households in completing a free assessment of their energy consumption.

They can be contacted on 8204 1888 or via their website at www.sa.gov.au/energysmart

My office has been provided with an energy toolkit which will be made available to loan for community groups and schools who may be interested in testing energy consumption in their workspace.

The Home Energy Toolkit contains an easy to use guide, worksheet and several tools to help you conduct your own energy audit. If your community group is interested in borrowing this toolkit please don’t hesitate to contact my office on 8294 6711.
