First Home Owner Grant Act 2000

An applicant is ineligible if—

the applicant or the applicant’s partner has been a party to an earlier application under this Act or a corresponding law; and

a grant was paid on the application.

However, the applicant is not ineligible if—

for an application that relates to an eligible transaction with a commencement date before 1 January 2011—the grant was later paid back under the conditions on which the grant was made; or

for an application that relates to an eligible transaction with a commencement date on or after 1 January 2011—

the grant was later paid back; and

any amount payable as a penalty or as interest was also paid in relation to the earlier application.

An applicant is also ineligible if the applicant or the applicant’s partner—

could have successfully applied for a first home owner grant under this Act or a corresponding law in relation to an earlier transaction to which he or she was a party but did not do so; or

could, assuming that he or she had then been an Australian citizen or permanent resident, have successfully applied for a first home owner grant under this Act or a corresponding law in relation to an earlier transaction to which he or she was a party.
