What are Labor's promises for the Home Guarantee Scheme?
As part of the 2025 Australian Federal Election, the Labor government promised adjustments to the Home Guarantee Scheme. The plan includes removing income and location limits. It will be open to all first home buyers, and those who haven’t owned property in the last 10 years.
If implemented, you could buy a home with just a 5% deposit, no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), plus access higher property price caps. The scheme remains limited to participating authorised lenders.
