Eligibility requirements for the first home owner grant
Each person who owns a part of the home must be an applicant.
This includes anyone who is or will be on the title of the property with you. If you have a spouse who will not own any part of the home, you must include them on the application as a non-applicant spouse. All applicants must meet the eligibility criteria.
You may be eligible for the grant if …
You are:
* at least 18 years of age
* not a company or a person acting as a trustee
* an Australian citizen or a permanent resident (or a joint applicant with someone who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident).
You may be eligible for the grant if you are a trustee of a trust (other than a discretionary or unit trust) and all the beneficiaries are individuals under a legal disability who will live in the home as their principal place of residence.
You and your spouse have:
* never been paid the first home owner grant
* before 1 July 2000, not owned residential property in Australia
* from 1 July 2000, not lived in residential property (in Australia) you have owned.
You will:
* move into the home within one year of buying it
* live in the home for 6 months continuously as your principal place of residence.
Exceptions
We may approve the grant in special circumstances if you:
* are under 18 years of age
* move into the home after one year
