First Home Owners Grant

The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) scheme is a once off grant of $7,000 to first home buyers. The scheme was introduced on 1 July 2000 with no end date yet identified. The grant is not means tested and is also not restricted by the purchase price or construction cost of the home.

On 14 October 2008, the Commonwealth Government announced a fiscal stimulus package, one element of which includes a temporary increase in the First Home Owner Grant scheme called the First Home Owner Boost (FHOB) that supplements the grant paid to first home buyers for established homes by an additional $7,000 and $14,000 for newly constructed homes.

First Home buyers will be eligible for the First Home Owner Boost (FHOB) on contracts to purchase or build a home entered into between 14 October 2008 and 30 June 2009.

Owner builders are also eligible for the additional grant if they commence construction within this period. During this period the maximum grant is $14,000 for established homes and $21,000 for newly constructed homes.
