The Family Home Guarantee is an Australian Government initiative administered by the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC) that’s intended to help support single parents with dependents buy a family home. Unlike the First Home Owners Grant, First Home Guarantee Scheme and the First Home Vacant Land Concession, you don’t need to be a first home buyer to access the scheme that makes a total of 10,000 houses available each financial year from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2025. This initiative enables eligible single parents to buy a home with just a 2% deposit – that means you won’t have to pay lenders mortgage insurance – on a home valued up to $600,000.*

Administered by the NHFIC on behalf of the Federal Government, the Family Home Guarantee scheme enables eligible single parents with dependents to apply for a home loan with a 2% deposit. If the eligible borrower meets the 2% deposit requirement, the NHFIC will guarantee up to 18% of the property value – capped at $700,000 in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, and $550,000 outside of these areas in Queensland – to meet the 20% deposit needed to avoid paying LMI.
This initiative is broader in scope than most first home buyer schemes and, in addition to building a new home (land and build contract), house and land packages and off-the-plan apartments and townhouses, also enables eligible borrowers to buy an existing house, apartment or townhouse.
