What is the Home Equity Access Scheme (HEAS)?

The HEAS is an Australian Government loan offering that allows seniors to boost their retirement income by unlocking the equity from their property. Both Aged Pensioners and self-funded retirees can apply, and below are the three key features you need to know if you're approved.

You only need to pay back to loan when you either sell or move out of your home.

2

The HEAS loan is secured against your property and increases by your payment + interest each fortnight

The HEAS pays fortnightly, just like the Age Pension and you can receive up to 150% of the full Age Pension entitlement less your Age Pension.
