About OZ Home Loan
OZ Home Loan explains how buying and financing a home in Australia actually works — deposits, pre-approval, government schemes, loan types, and settlement — for first home buyers, upgraders and refinancers.
It is published by the team behind Arrivau, an Australian finance business. That is worth knowing up front: this is not an unaffiliated publication, and it does not present itself as one. The site itself does not originate loans, hold a credit licence, or arrange credit — nothing here is an offer, an assessment or a recommendation.

Our Standards
- Disclosure over posturing: the publisher is named above rather than implied. No lender pays to appear here, and no page is ranked or ordered for payment.
- Sourced and dated: scheme rules, thresholds and government charges link to the agency that sets them, and carry the date they were checked. Where a figure is a lender’s own, it is described as that lender’s published figure.
- Method, not snapshots: guides explain how a number is arrived at, so they stay useful after the number changes. Where a page has not been rechecked recently, the review date says so rather than implying it is current.
