Chapter 3: Grants & Schemes | Support For First Home Buyers
IN THIS LESSON
Queensland has a range of incentives to help first home buyers enter the market sooner and reduce upfront costs. From stamp duty concessions to a $30,000 grant for new homes, and a new shared equity scheme launching soon, there’s a lot to navigate.
In this episode, Jack Elliott walks you through what’s available as of September 2025, who’s eligible, and the key benefits and trade-offs to consider. You’ll learn how each incentive works, and why your long-term goals, strategy and asset quality should guide your decision, not just chasing the biggest discount.
