First Home Buyers Grant New South Wales (NSW)

THE First Home Buyers Grant is an Australia wide assistance package administered separately by the various state and territory governments.

Other than the $7,000 in grant money, that is paid to all eligible first home buyers equally throughout the entire country through the First Home Buyers Grant, each state and territory government offers various other concessions of their own.

The New South Wales Government has long been committed to offering assistance to as many first home buyers as possible.  It has remained steadfast in its aim of placing as many young families into their own home for many years as it firmly believes that by doing so it helps young families establish their future lives as a family unit.
