First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme

If you are looking to buy your first home, there are a variety of government grants and schemes available at both national and state levels to help you with your purchase. Depending on the criteria in each state, you can enjoy certain exemptions or financial assistance when buying your dream home!

 Under the First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme (FHBAS), you can receive a stamp duty waiver or stamp duty concession when you purchase a home for the first time. This scheme allows you to either be entitled to a concessional rate of transfer duty charges or even an exemption from paying it altogether, depending on the value of the home you are purchasing.

With FHBAS, you can buy a new home valued at less than $650,000, apply for a full exemption, and pay no transfer duty. This scheme is currently ongoing and will not be affected by the property tax announcement effective 16 January 2023 if you purchase any property below $800,000. To qualify for this scheme:

  • you must be an individual, not a company, or trust
  • you must be over 18
  • you, and your spouse or partner, must never have owned or co-owned residential property in Australia
  • you, and your spouse or partner, must never have received an exemption or concession under this scheme
  • at least one of the first home buyers must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

 For more information on FHBAS and how you can apply, please refer here.
