National roundup of first home buyer grants

What are the government grants for first home buyers in your state or territory?

The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) scheme was introduced on 1 July 2000 to offset the effect of the GST on home ownership. It is a national scheme funded by the states and territories and administered under their own legislation.

Under the scheme, one-off grants are still payable to first home owners that satisfy the eligibility criteria.
