The VEU program introduced the induction cooktop activity as a pilot between 24 October 2024 and 30 June 2026. During the ‘pilot’ period of this activity, products were required to be listed on the Secretary’s product list to be eligible for the activity.
The induction cooktop activity is now in the VEU program, without reference to a pilot period. The activity no longer requires products to be listed on the Secretary’s product list. However, for induction cooktop products to be eligible for an incentive, there remains VEU specific product requirements.
For further information on the VEU program product requirements for the activity, see the induction cooktops discounts webpage.
