About Home Kickstarter
At Home Kickstarter, we know that the dream of home ownership feels out of reach for many Australians. Rising house prices, higher living costs, and strict bank lending rules make saving a deposit harder than ever. We created Home Kickstarter to change that.
Our origins are simple: we wanted to give first-home buyers a fair shot at owning a home. That meant creating a savings plan that works in today’s economy, building strong partnerships with builders and lenders, and ensuring first-home buyers had access to every grant and incentive available.
Our Mission
To empower first-home buyers to achieve their dream of home ownership through structured savings plans, financial education and comprehensive support.
Why We Exist
In recent years, the average price of a new home has risen sharply, leaving thousands of Australians locked out of the property market. The general increase in the cost of living including rents, utilities, groceries, insurance and other living expenses has made saving a deposit for your first home even tougher. This has pushed the great Australian dream of home ownership out of reach for many people.
Home Kickstarter has created a program to help everyday Australians save a 5% deposit and buy their first new home.
