Green Loans for Healthcare Providers: Save on Solar, EVs & Energy
Australia’s healthcare providers now have access to new discounted green loans designed to help doctors, dentists, and medical professionals save on energy costs while reducing their environmental impact. Backed by the Australian Government and delivered through a partnership between the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) and specialist lender Credabl, these loans make it easier for the healthcare sector to invest in solar, electric vehicles, and other sustainable upgrades.
What Are Green Loans for Healthcare?
Green loans are finance products offered at discounted interest rates to support the purchase of energy-efficient or renewable energy technologies. For healthcare providers, this initiative opens the door to affordable funding for eco-friendly upgrades that not only reduce emissions but also lower long-term operating costs.
The CEFC has committed $20 million to the program, managed by Credabl, a finance company specialising in healthcare lending. This ensures the loans meet the unique needs of doctors, dentists, clinics, and other healthcare businesses across Australia.

What Can These Loans Be Used For?
- Rooftop solar PV systems to lower electricity bills
- Energy-efficient fixtures and fitouts for clinics
- Electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging stations
- Energy-efficient commercial property upgrades
- Retrofitting a practice with electric replacements for heating, hot water and other uses
These loans provide practical ways for healthcare professionals to modernise their practices and reduce their carbon footprint.
How Much Can Healthcare Providers Save?
The green loans are available at rates up to 0.65% lower than standard finance products. For a $250,000 loan over five years, this discount could save more than $4,600 in interest, making investments in energy upgrades more affordable for small and medium healthcare businesses.
Why Focus on the Healthcare Sector?
Australia’s healthcare industry is responsible for up to 7% of national carbon emissions and faces particularly high energy demand due to lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, and medical equipment. The aim is to help professionals cut operating costs, encourage early adoption of clean energy, and accelerate Australia’s path to net zero emissions.
CEFC and Credabl’s sector-specific finance gives clinics, practices, and small hospitals a practical way to transition to renewable energy sources without compromising on patient care.
The Future of Green Finance in Healthcare
This is one of Australia’s first major, sector-focused green loan programs for healthcare. With decarbonisation and sustainability as growing priorities, more clinics and professionals are expected to take up solar, EVs, and energy upgrades. These initiatives support not only cost savings but also reputational and environmental goals for years ahead.
