Family Tax Benefit Home Loan

Home Loans when you are receiving Centrelink benefits

If you are receiving Centrelink payments, you can apply for a home loan, whether it is to refinance or purchase a home.

However, in some cases you will need to have another main source of income from employment. This is due to the fact that most lenders will not be willing to approve you for a home loan if your only source of income is through Family Tax Benefit or other Centrelink benefits.

What documents will I need to provide?

Below are some of the documents which you will need to provide to us:

  • 6 months of your Centrelink statements
  • Bank statements showing proof of the payments in your account
  • 2 most recent payslips
  • Notice of assessment for the last 2 years
