What is the First Home Guarantee Scheme?
The Family Home Guarantee (FHG) is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS), an Australian Government initiative to support eligible single parents or eligible single legal guardians of at least one dependent to buy a home sooner. It is administered by Housing Australia on behalf of the Australian Government.
The FHG aims to support eligible single parents or eligible single legal guardians of at least one dependent to buy a home, whether that single parent or single legal guardian is a first home buyer or a previous homeowner.
Under the FHG, part of an eligible home buyer’s home loan from a Participating Lender is guaranteed by Housing Australia. This enables an eligible home buyer to purchase a home with as little as 2% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
For the FHG, any Guarantee of a home loan is for up to a maximum amount of 18% of the value of the property (as assessed by the Participating Lender). This Guarantee is not a cash payment or a deposit for a home loan.
