Home Purchase Assistance Scheme (HPAS) Guide for ADF Members

The Home Purchase Assistance Scheme (HPAS) is a key resource for Australian Defence Force (ADF) members looking to purchase their first home. This guide provides a clear overview of HPAS, covering eligibility, financial benefits, and the application process.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for HPAS, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Membership:

    • Be a member of the Permanent Forces or a Reserve member on continuous full-time service for at least 12 months.
  • Home Purchase Location:

    • Your home must be in your current or next designated housing or family benefit location, as defined by your posting order or a similar work agreement.
  • Occupancy Requirements:

    • Vary based on whether the home is under construction or has already been purchased, ensuring timely utilisation of the benefit.

Financial Benefit

HPAS offers a pre-tax payment. Key points include:

  • Prorated Payment:

    • If purchased with a non-resident family member, the payment is adjusted accordingly.
  • Repayment Conditions:

    • Repayment may be required if the home purchase falls through for reasons not related to your service obligations.
    • If delays are caused by service-related issues, provisions allow you to claim reasonable costs.
