Helping you into your home sooner
The Home Guarantee Scheme is an Australian Government initiative supporting eligible home buyers to purchase a home sooner, through a national annual allocation of places under three separate Guarantees.
As of 1 July 2023, the Scheme’s expanded eligibility criteria now supports even more Australian permanent residents, combinations of joint home buyers, and even those who’ve previously owned property but haven’t done so for the past 10 years, to buy a home sooner.
If you're eligible to participate in the Home Guarantee Scheme, we'll work with you throughout your loan application to secure a place under the relevant Guarantee.
The First Home Guarantee (FHBG) is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme.
The purpose of the First Home Guarantee (FHBG) is to support eligible home buyers to enter the housing market sooner. Eligible home buyers may qualify with as little as 5% deposit. It’s made possible by allowing Housing Australia to issue 35,000 guarantees each financial year for eligible home loans.
For more information about First Home Buyer Guarantee and the eligibility criteria:
- Visit www.housingaustralia.gov.au
- Read the First Home Guarantee Information Guide
- Read the Home Guarantee Fact Sheet
The Family Home Guarantee is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme.
The purpose of the Family Home Guarantee is to support eligible single parents and eligible single legal guardians of at least one dependent to buy a home, with as little as 2% deposit. Applicants can include those who aren’t first home buyers. The Family Home Guarantee is made possible by allowing Housing Australia to issue 5,000 guarantees each financial year for eligible home loans.

The Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme.
The purpose of the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee is to help eligible regional home buyers to buy a modest home in regional areas, with as little as 5% deposit. Eligible regional first home buyers (or at least one applicant if applying as joint applicants) can purchase in the regional area they’ve been living in, or an adjacent regional area, for the previous 12 months. The Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee is made possible by allowing Housing Australia to issue 10,000 guarantees each financial year for eligible home loans.

Tips and tools
Home loan FAQs
Fixed interest rates lock in your repayments, and they won't change for the loan term. You can easily budget, because you'll know exactly what you'll pay each month.
Variable interest rates could vary from month to month based on the changes to the interest rates. If the rates rise, your repayments may rise. If the rates fall, your repayments may be less.
Offset accounts are an easy way to save some coin when repaying your mortgage.
An offset account is a transaction account linked to your home loan designed to lower the amount of interest charged on your loan.
The balance is 'offset' against what you owe on your home loan, meaning you're only charged interest on your home loan minus the total amount in your offset account.
Let’s say you have a mortgage of $200,000 and $20,000 in your linked offset account. That means you’ll only be charged interest on $180,000.
This simple set up can potentially save you hundreds or even thousands in interest repayments and help you repay your loan even quicker.
A redraw facility lets you access any additional repayments you've made towards your home loan on top of your minimum repayments for eligible home loans.
If you choose to pay more than your minimum repayments, the additional balance will appear in your home loan account that you can re-access if you need it.
There may be fees associated with a redraw and it could also affect the interest you pay on your home loan.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a type of insurance that a lender takes out to protect itself against the risk of not recovering the outstanding loan balance. Specifically, this occurs where a borrower becomes unable to meet their required loan repayments and the proceeds from the sale of the property fall short of paying the outstanding loan balance in full (known as ‘shortfall debt’). The LMI insurer can recover from the amount of the shortfall from the borrower.
LMI is payable by a lender where the borrower does not have the required loan deposit (typically 20% of the property value). This cost is generally passed on as a fee to the borrower. LMI will be added to the borrower’s home loan balance and interest will be payable on this amount over the life of the loan.
It is important to note that LMI protects lenders against potential losses and not the borrower (or any guarantors). This means a borrower cannot make a claim under the LMI, only the lender can. LMI is different to Mortgage Protection Insurance, which a borrower can take out separately to insure themselves against the possibility that they are unable to meet their repayment obligations.
You can now set up repayments for eligible home loan types and we'll automatically adjust the minimum loan repayment amount for you if it changes.
- Log on to the app and the 'Pay' button
- Choose your account and home loan
- Select the 'Automate repayments' button
- Your monthly repayment amount will automatically populate
- You can add an additional amount on top of this, otherwise select 'Next' and your payment is ready to go.
- Log on to internet banking and navigate to the Transfer screen
- Select your account and loan from the drop down boxes
- If your loan is eligible, you will see a check box for 'Automate loan repayment'.
- Select the 'Automate loan repayment' check box and follow the prompts.
You can view your current and next minimum repayment amount by selecting your loan account within the app and internet banking. Alternatively, you can give us a call on 13 19 87 or check your email/mail for an update on any changes to your loan account.
You can make additional repayments on most variable home loans at no extra cost. Paying an additional amount on top of your minimum repayments will put you in advance of your loan and can come in handy for emergencies or provide you with a financial buffer if you fall short or miss a payment for some reason. You can easily set this up via our app or internet banking.
For a fixed-rate home loan, you can repay up to $25,000 per calendar year during the fixed rate period without incurring a break cost. Check our Break Cost and Fixed Interest Rate Guide for more information.
