Is the Queensland FHOG still $30,000 in 2026?

Yes — the $30,000 amount applies to eligible transactions with contracts dated between 20 November 2023 and 30 June 2026. After that date the grant reverts to $15,000 unless the QLD Government announces a further extension.

Can I claim the $30,000 grant on an established home?

No. The grant is restricted to newly built homes, off-the-plan units, house-and-land packages, and substantial renovations. Established home buyers can still claim the first home stamp duty concession on properties up to $800,000.

Is there an income test for the Queensland FHOG?

No, the grant is not means-tested. The only limits are property value ($750,000 cap), property type (newly built), and applicant eligibility (first home, citizen/PR, owner-occupied).

Can I use the $30,000 toward my deposit?

Yes — most lenders will accept the FHOG as part of your deposit and reduce the deposit you need to save. Check your lender's policy on FHOG-funded deposits as some require additional genuine savings on top.
