FHLDS

First Home Loan Deposit Scheme

The original name of the First Home Buyer Guarantee — now retired.

The First Home Loan Deposit Scheme was the federal government's original name for what is now called the First Home Buyer Guarantee. The scheme was rebranded in July 2022 when responsibility moved to Housing Australia (formerly NHFIC). If you read 2019–2022 articles referencing FHLDS, they're describing the same mechanism as today's FHBG.
