First Home Buyers

Queensland First Home Owners Grant

From 1 July 2016 the Great Start Grant will be known as the Queensland First Home Owners’ Grant.

The First Home Owner’s Grant is a one-off payment for eligible first home buyers/builders in Queensland. From 1 July 2018, the Queensland FHOG has reverted to $15,000.

If your contract to purchase or build a new home was entered into between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2018, you may be eligible to apply for the boosted $20,000 grant.

To be eligible for the grant:

• you must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident (or applying with someone who is)
• you or your spouse must not have previously owned property in Australia
• you must be at least 18 years of age
• you must be buying or building a brand new home, valued under $750,000
