The excitement of finally having a place to call your own comes with a real sense of achievement, pride and possibility. There is the anticipation of how your new home will reflect your individual style, how each room will evolve, and how the space will support your lifestyle now and in the future.

At the same time, it is completely normal to feel some fear of the unknown — from navigating the building process to making the right decisions at each step. Together, these emotions form a powerful part of the journey, shaping both the experience and the connection you build with your new home.

The grant provides financial assistance that can make your first home purchase more affordable. While the application process can seem complex, our team will guide you step-by-step and help answer any questions you may have.

Am I eligible for the grant?

Eligibility is set by the State Revenue Office of Victoria. You can review the full criteria on their website to understand whether you qualify, and we can assist you with navigating the requirements.

How much is the grant?

Eligible first home buyers may receive $10,000 when buying or building a new home valued up to $750,000. You may also qualify for a duty exemption on homes up to $600,000 or a concession for homes valued between $600,001 and $750,000. For the most accurate details, refer to the State Revenue Office website.

When will the grant be paid?

The payment timing depends on whether you are building, buying off the plan, or purchasing a completed new home. The State Revenue Office website outlines the specific timing for each path, and our team can help you understand what applies to your situation.
