Helping you into your home sooner

The Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS) is an Australian Government initiative supporting eligible home buyers to purchase a home sooner, through a national annual allocation of places under three separate Guarantees.

As of 1 July 2023, the Scheme’s expanded eligibility criteria now supports even more Australian permanent residents, combinations of joint home buyers, and even those who’ve previously owned property but haven’t done so for the past 10 years, to buy a home sooner.

If you're eligible to participate in the HGS, we'll work with you throughout your loan application to secure a place under the relevant Guarantee.

  • First Home Guarantee

    The First Home Guarantee (FHBG) is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme.

    The purpose of the First Home Guarantee (FHBG) is to support eligible home buyers to enter the housing market sooner. Eligible home buyers may qualify with as little as 5% deposit. It’s made possible by allowing Housing Australia to issue 35,000 guarantees each financial year for eligible home loans.

    For more information about FHBG and the eligibility criteria:

  • Family Home Guarantee

    The Family Home Guarantee (FHG) is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme.

    The purpose of the Family Home Guarantee (FHG) is to support eligible single parents and eligible single legal guardians of at least one dependent to buy a home, with as little as 2% deposit. Applicants can include those who aren’t first home buyers. The FHG is made possible by allowing Housing Australia to issue 5,000 guarantees each financial year for eligible home loans.

    For more information about FHG and the eligibility criteria:

  • Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee

    The Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee (RFHBG) is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme.

    The purpose of the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee (RFHBG) is to help eligible regional home buyers to buy a modest home in regional areas, with as little as 5% deposit. Eligible regional first home buyers (or at least one applicant if applying as joint applicants) can purchase in the regional area they’ve been living in, or an adjacent regional area, for the previous 12 months. The RFHBG is made possible by allowing Housing Australia to issue 10,000 guarantees each financial year for eligible home loans.

**Real Deal At the current time, special interest rates are available for new borrowers applying for a Real Deal Home Loan for an owner occupied home with principal and interest repayments with a minimum balance of $150,000. Existing Newcastle Permanent customers are also eligible to receive the special interest rates if:

•They convert an existing Newcastle Permanent loan to a Real Deal Home Loan with principal and interest repayments and they increase it by a minimum of $150,000 in new borrowings.

•Special 1 – For loans with an LVR of less than or equal to 80%, a discount of 2.11% is deducted from the Real Deal Home Loan interest rate.
•Special 2 – For loans with an LVR of greater than 80%, and less than 95%, a discount of 1.36% is deducted from the Real Deal Home Loan interest rate.
