Case study

Australian Unity

Energy Action worked with Workspace to develop a simple energy management rhythm. Through Utilibox, Workspace gained visibility into contract status and pricing windows.

The client

Australian Unity is one of Australia’s oldest wellbeing companies. With over 180 years of history, they operate across health, wealth and care sectors. Their property portfolio spans retirement communities, aged care residences, medical centres, and corporate offices across four states. This procurement involved 189 electricity sites nationally. 

The Problem

Australian Unity faced a timing challenge. Wholesale prices had begun stabilising after a 15-month decline.

To secure strong rates while retaining flexibility for future market reviews. 

Locking in too soon risked missing future lows, Waiting too long risked a rebound

“Australian Unity are a standout client. They’re smart, collaborative, and focused on long-term value. It was a privilege to deliver this result.” Yachi Gandhi, Energy Consultant, Energy Action 

The Solution

 

Each business unit at Australian Unity had unique consumption profiles, contract terms and supplier preferences. We consolidated these into a single strategic event. This ensured volume-based discounts while removing duplication. Our post-auction negotiations secured an extra $90,000 saving across the three major states. All final offers were verified against internal cost models, checked site by site.
