Government Grants
Governments offer various grants and incentives for property buyers, and they change over time. This guide explains how to approach them without assuming what applies to you.
The role of incentives
Grants and incentives are designed to help certain buyers, often first-home buyers, enter the market. They can meaningfully change your budget or the deposit you need, but they come with eligibility rules that vary by state and change from time to time.
Check before you count on it
Because these schemes shift and eligibility can be detailed, it is risky to assume you qualify or to build a plan around an incentive without confirming the current rules. What applied last year may not apply now.
Getting it confirmed
We do not administer grants or give financial advice. We introduce you to independent, licensed brokers who can explain which current incentives you may be eligible for based on your situation.

Frequently asked questions
Which grants am I eligible for?
Eligibility depends on your circumstances and current state rules. A licensed broker we connect you with can explain what applies to you.
Do grants change often?
They can. Schemes and their rules are updated over time, so it is important to confirm the current position rather than rely on old information.
