The First Home Guarantee (FHBG) is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS), an Australian Government initiative to support eligible home buyers to buy a home sooner. It is administered by Housing Australia on behalf of the Australian Government.
Under the FHBG, part of an eligible home buyer’s home loan from a Participating Lender is guaranteed by Housing Australia. This enables an eligible home buyer to buy a home with as little as 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
For the FHBG, any Guarantee of a home loan is for up to a maximum amount of 15% of the value of the property (as assessed by the Participating Lender). This Guarantee is not a cash payment or a deposit for a home loan. Eligibility criteria apply.
To apply for the FHBG, home buyers must be:
applying as an individual or two joint applicants
an Australian citizen(s) or permanent resident(s)*
at the time they enter the loan
at least 18 years of age
earning up to $125,000 for individuals or $200,000 for joint applicants, as shown on the Notice of Assessment (issued by the Australian Taxation Office)
intending to be owner-occupiers of the purchased property
First home buyers or previous homeowners who haven't owned or had an interest in a real property in Australia (this includes owning land only) in the past ten years.
