Completing your HomeBuilder grant application

    You will not receive payment of the grant unless, by 30 June 2025:

    • The status of your application is ‘Submitted for processing’ or ‘Lodged’.
    • You have provided the correct supporting documents.
    • You meet the eligibility criteria.

    Any supporting documents received after that date will not be accepted.

    How to complete your application

    There are some important things you should do now to ensure you don’t miss out on the grant. Follow the steps below before 30 June 2025 to ensure your application is completed in time.

    1. Contract type

    Make sure you selected the correct contract type as part of your application. You can check this by reviewing the supporting documents page in the application.

    It’s important that you selected the correct contract type because each one has different supporting document requirements.

    • Buying a new home—for example, you signed a sales contract to buy an off-the-plan home (e.g. apartment or townhouse) or to buy a new home (recently built home that has never been sold or lived in)
    • Building a new home—you entered into a comprehensive home building contract to build a new home on your land.
    • Renovating a home—you entered into a contract to substantially renovate your home. This can be either to alter the existing dwelling or to demolish an existing home and build a new home on the land.

    If you have selected the wrong contract type, you will need to upload the correct supporting documents for your contract type under Other.

    2. Supporting documents

    It is your responsibility to ensure that the correct supporting documents are provided by 30 June 2025. If you do not provide the documents by this date, you will not be paid the grant.

    If the status of your application is ‘Documents required’, it means we’re waiting on supporting documents.

    You can upload documents under Other. Detailed instructions on how to do this are on the ‘Supporting documents’ page in the application.

    Note: You can only upload documents one at a time—that is, you can’t upload several documents at the same time.

    3. Complete your application

    Once you have provided the correct supporting documents, the status of your application must be ‘Submitted for processing’. You won’t be able to complete your application after 30 June 2025.

    An application is completed once:

    • you have provided all required supporting documents for your contract type
    • you have checked the relevant tick boxes on the supporting documents page
    • the status of your application is ‘Submitted for processing’.

    If the status of your application is ‘Lodged’, you must email your documents, with your application reference, to homebuildergrant@treasury.qld.gov.au by 30 June 2025.

    If you have queries about completing your application, or are unable to access it, email homebuildergrant@treasury.qld.gov.au now.
