• You must meet the income eligibility requirements – your taxable income cannot exceed $125,000 for the previous financial year (child support payments are not included as income for the purposes of the income cap).
• As the single parent, your name must be the only name listed on the loan and the title.
• You must be able to provide a deposit of at least 2% of the value of the property.
• You must intend to be the owner-occupier of the purchased property.
• You can either be a first home buyer or have owned a home in the past. You can not currently be living in a home you own.
• There are property price thresholds that will apply in capital cities, large regional centres and regional areas. Use NHFIC’s property price threshold tool to work out the maximum property purchase price in the area you’re interested in under the Scheme.
• The property you wish to purchase must meet the property eligibility requirements under the Scheme.
To see if you qualify for a loan with Bendigo Bank for a home loan with this scheme, contact them directly on 1300 236 344.

How do you use the website to compare 4 banks. It doesn’t seems to be working. I want to compare 4 different banks’ investor loans but when I click on ‘Compare’ the bank I am looking at on the screen comes up but there is no mechanism for me to add another 3 banks to compare to – just blank boxes and an orange ‘Compare’ button.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
