Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also be a daunting process—especially when it comes to finances. Fortunately, the Queensland Government offers a First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) to help first-time buyers get into the property market. If you’re planning to build or buy a brand-new home, you could be eligible for a $30,000 grant to ease the financial burden.
The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a government initiative designed to support first-time buyers in Queensland. The grant is available for those purchasing or building a brand-new home and aims to make homeownership more accessible.
To qualify for the grant, you must meet the following criteria:
✅ You are purchasing or building a brand-new home (including off-the-plan properties).
✅ The property price must be under $750,000.
✅ You must be a first-time homebuyer (i.e., you have never owned property in Australia before).
✅ You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
✅ You must intend to live in the home as your principal place of residence for at least 6 months.
✅ The home must be located in Queensland.
The grant applies to:
🏡 Newly built homes
🏗️ Homes under construction
📄 Off-the-plan purchases
🔨 Substantially renovated homes (meeting specific conditions)
Applying for the First Home Owner Grant is a straightforward process:
1️⃣ Check your eligibility on the Queensland Revenue Office (QRO) website.
2️⃣ Submit an application through your bank or financial institution (if using a home loan) or directly to the Queensland Government.
3️⃣ Provide necessary documentation, including proof of identity and property details.
4️⃣ Wait for approval and receive your grant, which is typically paid at settlement or after construction begins.
