The Opportunity

Property shouldn't be out of reach for the people who keep our country running.

Australia's housing market has left working families behind — especially the nurses, teachers, and carers our communities depend on.

We partner with developers and housing providers to release quality homes at genuinely reduced prices — reserved for Essential / Key Workers.

up to 20%

Below market value — typical saving for eligible buyers

Before you commit to a property, we’ll explain its purchase price, ownership structure, applicable fees and any conditions or restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions? You’re probably not the first to ask.

Essential Worker Homes is a private platform that helps eligible Essential / Key Workers across Australia understand their housing options and navigate the purchase process.

We work with developers, housing providers and finance professionals to identify suitable homes and help buyers understand their eligibility, financial position and pathway to purchase.

Essential and Key Worker programs commonly include occupations communities rely on, such as healthcare, education, police and emergency services, childcare, aged care and other frontline roles.

The definition can vary between programs, so if you’re unsure, complete our quick eligibility check rather than ruling yourself out.

No. EWH is remunerated by the housing providers or developers we work with. We do not charge you a fee for our service.

Finance fees and other purchase costs such as conveyancing and inspections are separate from EWH’s service and will be explained by the relevant provider.

No. Completing the initial eligibility check does not involve a credit enquiry and does not affect your credit score.

If you later proceed with a lender, they will explain their own application and credit assessment process.

We review your information to understand your position and which opportunities may be appropriate.

The next step might be discussing an available home, establishing your borrowing position, or keeping you informed about future allocations in your area. There is no obligation to purchase.
