First Home Owner Grant and Shared Equity Act 2000

A grant (an ADF home buyer’s grant) is payable on an application under this Act if—

the applicant or, if there are 2 or more of them, at least one of the applicants is a member of the Defence Force on the commencement date of the eligible transaction, and

the applicant or, if there are 2 or more of them, each of the applicants—

complies with the eligibility criteria for a first home owner grant (except for the residence requirement), and

is enrolled to vote in State elections (under the Electoral Act 2017) on the commencement date of the eligible transaction, and

the transaction for which the grant is sought—

is an eligible transaction, and

has been completed.

Subject to this section, this Act applies in relation to an ADF home buyer’s grant in the same way as it applies to a first home owner grant, with any necessary modifications, as if a reference in this Act to a first home owner grant included a reference to an ADF home buyer’s grant.

The residence requirement does not apply to an ADF home buyer’s grant.

An ADF home buyer’s grant is payable in respect of an eligible transaction only if a first home owner grant is not payable in respect of the same eligible transaction.

In this section, a member of the Defence Force means a member of the Permanent Forces of the Australian Defence Force (within the meaning of the Defence Act 1903 of the Commonwealth).
