What is a Green Home Loan?
We’ve listened to our customers, and we understand it’s important to you to have the option to choose a loan which benefits the environment. Our Green Home Loan is like our regular variable rate home loan, but better for you and the environment.
In simple terms, you'll benefit from a discount on your home loan if the home you purchase was built less than 12 months ago and if it complies to a certain environmental standard based on the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).
NatHERS is a star rating system (out of ten) that rates the energy efficiency of a home, based on its design. Star ratings are based on information about the home’s design, construction materials and the climate where it has been built.
To qualify for the discounted loan, your home must be less than 12 months old and you must get a NatHERS certificate from an accredited assessor, showing a 7.0 star rating or higher.

- Two (2) most recent consecutive payslips for each applicant
- Three (3) months bank statements showing regular salary credits, including most recent salary credits with the name of the employer evident
- Evidence of Salary Sacrifice or Packaging (if applicable)
- Evidence of Company Vehicle/Car Allowance (if applicable)
- Six (6) consecutive months of home loan statements showing consistent repayment history (if applicable)
If you have income paid to more than one account you'll need statements for all those accounts. Alternatively, you could provide your most recent Tax Assessment Notice and a letter from your employer that confirms your salary.
If you're self-employed, the paperwork will be slightly different. When you refinance a loan, you'll need to provide evidence of your ability to make repayments, so your lender will request two years of business and personal tax returns and ATO assessments.
To avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), borrowers need a 20% deposit in most cases.
Once your loan application has been submitted, you will be given access to our online portal onTrack. In onTrack, we will collect some more information from you and you can track your application. When your loan settles, you will be given your referral code in onTrack.
