What is the Family Home Guarantee (FHG)?
As a participating lender offering the Australian Government’s Family Home Guarantee (FHG), we can help eligible single parents to purchase a family home. You do not need to be a first home buyer to be eligible.
Under the FHG, you could build a new home or buy an existing home with as little as a 2% deposit.
The FHG will provide 5,000 guarantees per year, from 1 July 2022 until 30 June 2025.
If you’re a single parent interested in applying for the FHG, please register your interest below or speak with our Home Lending Specialists to discuss the options available to you.
Who is eligible for the Family Home Guarantee (FHG)?

You earned less than $125,000 in the previous tax year. This doesn’t include child support payments.
You have a deposit of at least 2% of the value of the property (but less than 20%).
You intend to be the owner-occupier of the home. Investment properties are not supported by the FHG.
