NRAS

What is NRAS?

The National Rental Affordability Scheme was introduced by the Federal Government to increase the number of new properties available for rent in Australia.

The goal is to provide an additional 50,000 new accommodation units over the next 5 years, with a possibility of a further 50,000 beyond that.

These properties will be leased out to eligible tenants at a 20% discount to market rent.

 

Am I eligible for NRAS?

The main eligibility criteria is your household income. If your income is below the following limits, then you may be eligible to apply. 

The income limits for a household are: 

                (a)    if a household does not include a sole parent:

                          (i)    $40 501 for the first adult; and

                         (ii)    $15 490 for each additional adult; and

                        (iii)    $13 432 for each child; or
