If you’ve been dreaming of buying your first home—or getting back into the property market—there’s exciting news! From 1 October 2025, the Home Guarantee Scheme has expanded, making it simpler for more Australians to achieve homeownership.
What’s New in the Scheme?

The recent updates make the scheme more accessible and flexible:
✅ Unlimited spots – no more waiting lists
✅ No income limits – more buyers are eligible
✅ Higher property caps – up to $1.5 million, depending on the area
✅ Low deposit – buy with just 5% (or 2% for single parents)
✅ No Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) – save thousands instantly
These changes are designed to make homeownership more attainable, especially for buyers who struggle to save a large deposit.
How the Scheme Works
The scheme allows eligible buyers to purchase a property with a low deposit while avoiding costly LMI. However, it’s important to understand that loan approval is still based on your income, expenses, and credit history. This means you still need to meet the lender’s standard assessment criteria.
