You're not alone - Energy and water help that speaks your language

"Everyone needs electricity, but many people in my community are concerned about energy costs. Speaking another language makes it more difficult to understand the bill, let alone find help.” Frankie, campaign advisor and member of the Cantonese community.

You’re Not Alone is a campaign to increase awareness of our service among multicultural and multilingual communities across New South Wales.

Developed in collaboration with a Multicultural Community Advisory Board, this campaign features videos and resources in Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Korean, showcasing community members discussing how they use energy and water at home.

You’re Not Alone aims to raise awareness of EWON’s services within culturally diverse households and highlights that free, in-language support is available for customers when they call EWON.
