Support for buying a home

The Australian Government offers a number of initiatives to help people in buying a home. The First Home Loan Deposit Scheme supports eligible first home buyers purchase their first home sooner (places for this financial year are now exhausted), while the New Home Guarantee supports eligible first home buyers to build or purchase a new home.

There's also the Family Home Guarantee, which provides eligible single parents with dependents the opportunity to build a new home or purchase an existing home with a deposit of 2 per cent, subject to the individual’s ability to service a home loan.
