Get started with ByrzThe information on this page is general in nature and is provided for education only. It does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs, and it is not financial, legal, tax or credit advice. Before acting on anything here, consider whether it is appropriate for your circumstances and speak to a licensed professional. Government scheme rules, grant amounts, price caps and duty thresholds change regularly and differ between states: always confirm current figures with your state or territory revenue office, Housing Australia or the ATO before making decisions. Byrz does not guarantee your eligibility for any grant, scheme or loan, and does not itself approve or provide credit. Byrz is not a licensed credit provider and does not give credit advice or credit assistance: any advice about a loan comes from the licensed mortgage broker you choose to work with, who is responsible for that advice. If you connect with a broker through Byrz, Byrz may receive a fee or commission from the broker if a loan settles. Examples and dollar figures are illustrative only.
