Power for medical equipment

If you use life-supporting medical equipment, you should register as a life support customer with your energy company. This means they will notify you in the event that any power works will be undertaken that will affect you.

In the event of an unplanned power outage, you should have an emergency plan ready. The Australian Energy Regulator has released a brochure with more information.
