Great Southern Bank home loans: frequently asked questions
What are Great Southern Bank home loan rates?
Great Southern Bank home loan rates are in the live table on this page. The lowest variable rate Ratesniffers ranks is currently 6.04% p.a., and the lowest fixed rate is 6.30% p.a., checked daily (last verified 11 Sept 2026). Compare Great Southern Bank against the wider market at /home-loans. The /guides/comparison-rate explains the fee-inclusive figure used to rank the table. To model extra payments on a Great Southern Bank balance, use /calculators/extra-repayment.
What is the lowest Great Southern Bank home loan rate?
Great Southern Bank's lowest variable home loan rate is currently 6.04% p.a., and its lowest fixed rate is 6.30% p.a., based on the 60 Great Southern Bank products Ratesniffers ranks by comparison rate, checked daily (last verified 11 Sept 2026). The advertised rate isn't always the rate Great Southern Bank approves, a broker can often negotiate a sharper deal on your scenario.
What is the monthly repayment on a $600,000 Great Southern Bank home loan?
At Great Southern Bank's lowest variable rate of 6.04% p.a., a $600,000 principal and interest loan over 30 years repays about $3,613 a month, and $500,000 about $3,011. That is an estimate at the advertised rate before fees; the comparison rate in the table above carries the fees, and a fixed or interest-only loan repays differently.
How much do you need to earn for a $500,000 Great Southern Bank home loan?
There is no single salary. Like every Australian lender, Great Southern Bank must assess a new home loan at a rate at least 3 percentage points above the loan's rate under APRA's serviceability buffer, so 6.04% p.a. is assessed at about 9.04% p.a., then test that repayment against income after living expenses and other debts. The income required calculator at /calculators/income-required works this backwards from a property price and deposit.
How does Great Southern Bank's home loan rate compare to the market?
Great Southern Bank's lowest variable home loan rate today is 6.04% p.a., which is 20 basis points below the market median of 6.24% p.a., which puts Great Southern Bank among the more competitive lenders on variable rates today. This is computed daily from the live rates across the lenders Ratesniffers tracks, so it reflects where Great Southern Bank sits right now rather than a fixed snapshot.
How many home loan products does Great Southern Bank offer?
Ratesniffers currently tracks 122 Great Southern Bank home loan products across variable, fixed and interest-only options for owner-occupiers and investors, and ranks the 60 that pass our data-quality checks on this page. Every rate is checked daily against each lender's current published pricing and ranked by comparison rate, the ASIC-mandated figure that folds in most fees, so the genuinely cheapest loans sit at the top.
Is Great Southern Bank competitive for refinancing?
It depends on your loan size and LVR. Great Southern Bank's lowest comparison rate is currently 6.08% p.a., worth checking against the wider market before you switch. On a $500,000 loan, even a 0.30% p.a. difference is about $100 a month, so comparing Great Southern Bank against the sharpest available rate usually pays off.
How often are Great Southern Bank's home loan rates updated?
Ratesniffers refreshes Great Southern Bank's home loan rates daily; this page was last updated 11 Sept 2026. Rates can change whenever Great Southern Bank reprices or the RBA moves the cash rate, so the figures shown reflect the most recent data we hold rather than a static snapshot.
Does Great Southern Bank have an offset account, and what does it cost?
Yes. The Offset Variable Home Loan includes a 100% Multi-Account Offset at no charge, with $0 monthly and $0 annual fees. Up to six Great Southern Bank transaction accounts can be linked, and their combined balance offsets the loan. Each offset account needs a minimum $500 balance to earn the offset benefit, and offset funds do not earn interest.
Is Great Southern Bank a participating lender in the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme?
Yes. Great Southern Bank appears on the Australian Government's list of participating lenders for the 5% Deposit Scheme, and its own site says this is its sixth year taking part. Eligible first home buyers can buy with a 5% deposit and no LMI, and eligible single parents or guardians with a dependant from 2%. Price caps and eligibility rules apply.
