What Is a Disability Home Loan?
A disability home loan is a mortgage designed for individuals receiving Disability Support Pension (DSP) or NDIS funding, as well as those who need financial assistance to buy or modify an accessible home. Some lenders have specific policies that accommodate pension income and offer low-deposit options for eligible applicants.
How Disability Home Loans Work
Lenders assess applicants based on income sources, pension benefits, and government assistance when approving disability home loans. Some lenders recognise NDIS payments, DSP income, and carer allowances as part of an applicant’s financial capacity. Government schemes, such as the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) and stamp duty concessions, can also help reduce upfront costs for eligible borrowers.
Financial Assistance & Government Support for Disability Home Loans
Several government programs provide financial aid to people with disabilities looking to buy a home. These include:
-
First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) – Provides financial assistance for first-time home buyers.
-
Stamp Duty Concessions – Reduced or waived stamp duty for eligible borrowers.
-
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Support – Funding assistance for home modifications.
-
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Loans – Designed for accessible housing under NDIS guidelines.
These programs make homeownership more affordable for individuals with disabilities by reducing upfront costs and providing financial support.

FAQ

Yes, eligible borrowers may access First Home Owner Grants, stamp duty exemptions, and government-backed loan programs. These grants help reduce upfront costs and make homeownership more affordable for individuals with disabilities.
