      Hi Trevor,

      Thanks for your enquiry.

      You may be eligible to apply for a home loan while on Centrelink benefits. I also recommend getting in touch with a licensed mortgage broker. A broker can help you understand your financial position and they can leverage their panel of networks to find a lender that’s more inclined to review your application.

      Thanks,
      Belinda
