Single Parent Home Loan Scheme Australia

Buying a house can be a difficult process, especially for single parents who may be unable to secure the required 20% down payment for an Australian home loan. In Australia, single-parent families can apply for the Family Home Guarantee Scheme.


Family Home Guarantee scheme eligibility


To meet the government's eligibility requirements for the family pledge, both of the following criteria must be met:


  • Borrowers must be legally single, which means they do not have a spouse or de facto partner. Single parents who have separated but have not divorced are ineligible for the guarantee.
  • For the applicant to be considered, at least one dependent child must be present. A dependent child is defined by the Social Security Act of 1991 as any child for whom the applicant is responsible for the child's daily care, welfare, and development.
  • Anyone between the ages of 16 and 22 who receives a disability support pension and lives with the applicant may be classified as a dependent under the scheme if they live with the applicant.
