Key Fact Sheet for Home Loans


1Repayment holiday: Conditions, eligibility and suitability criteria apply. 

  • Reduced loan repayments: reduction of up to 50% available for up to 6 months on variable home loans held with us for over 12 months. It is important to understand that at the end of the reduced repayment period, the repayment amount will increase to adjust for the reduced repayments. This ensures that the loan is still repaid within its original term. Read the disclosure documents for your selected product or service before deciding if this option is right for you. 
  • Mortgage repayment pause: available for up to 6 months on variable home loans held with us for over 12 months. 
  • Parental leave: if your existing variable home loan has had at least 12 months of Principle & Interest repayments, you could be eligible to reduce your home loan repayments up to 50% for up to 12 months while on maternity or paternity leave, subject to approval.

^Redraw facility: if you have 'available funds' (you've made extra home loan repayments) and you've activated your redraw facility, you're free to redraw them with no redraw fee. Up to $100k will be available to redraw from your variable loan online or over the phone each day (unlimited in-branch). For fixed loans you can redraw up to your prepayment threshold during your fixed term. Read our  Home Loan Redraw Authority form (PDF 66KB) for full details.


^^Monthly $5 Westpac Choice account-keeping fee waived if you meet one of the following:

  • You've linked it to your Rocket Repay Home Loan or Rocket Investment Loan as an offset account
  • You deposit at least $2,000 each month
  • You're under 30 years old, or a full-time tertiary student
  • Westpac Choice Concession account holders
  • You're new to Australia, or an expatriate customer (for the first 12 months).

#Premier Advantage Package: Conditions of Use and $395 annual package fee applies. You must either hold or be approved for a Westpac Choice transaction account in order to qualify and continue to receive the benefits of the Premier Advantage Package. Applicants must have a Westpac Choice transaction account linked to the home loan at the time of settlement and must keep this account open for 60 days after settlement. Before deciding to acquire a Westpac Choice account, read the terms and conditions, and consider whether the product is right for you. Tax consequences may arise from this promotion for investors and customers should seek independent advice on any taxation matters.

**Break costs on fixed loan prepayments and switching: customers can make total prepayments of up to $30,000 (cumulative) for fixed loans, without costs or fees applying. You may incur a break cost and administration fee if your prepayments exceed this threshold, or if at any time before the end of a fixed rate period you switch to another product, interest rate (fixed or variable) or repayment type.
