First Home Buyer Incentives

Updated: Apr 4, 2019

Let us help you with your next move! Purchasing your first home can be both exciting and nervous. Did you know that you may be eligible for up to a $20,000 one-off grant?


First home owner grant (FHOG) is a government scheme, introduced on 1 July 2000 to help first home buyers offset the effect of GST.


Are you eligible?

• Your new home must be less than 5 years old.

• Your new home value must be lower than $750,000.

• Your new home must be the first sale as a residential premise.

• You have never received a FHOG or owned a residential property in Australia.

• You must be 18 years old or over.

• You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or you hold a permanent visa under s 30(1) of the Migration Act 1958.

• You must occupy your first home as the principle place of residence for at least 12 continuous months, starting within the first 12 months of settlement.


Note: you will not be eligible if your spouse/partner owned property prior to 1 July 2000 or previously obtained FHOG.
