Making your first home possible with the First Home Guarantee.
Buying your first home is exciting - but saving for a deposit can sometimes feel out of reach. That’s where the First Home Guarantee (FHG) comes in.

What is the First Home Guarantee?
The First Home Guarantee allows eligible buyers to purchase a property with just a 5% deposit - without paying costly Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
Here’s how it works: instead of saving a full 20% deposit, the government acts as a guarantor for up to 15% of your loan. That means:
· You save less before buying
· You avoid paying LMI (which can cost thousands)
· You can move into your new home sooner
What’s Changing from 1 October 2025?
The scheme is expanding to open doors for even more first home buyers. From October, you’ll benefit from:
· Higher property price caps - more homes at Lyndarum North now qualify
· Broader eligibility - income caps are being removed
· More opportunities - unlimited places available under the scheme
This means more flexibility, more choice, and more chances to secure your first home.
