If the home stops being a suitable own home, then the member may be eligible for housing assistance under this Chapter.

If a member purchases a suitable own home in their housing benefit location, their eligibility for housing assistance stops, unless the CDF has decide that housing assistance should continue until the end of a member’s posting.

A member must notify the Defence Housing Australia Regional Director if they own, buy or sell a residential property in or near their housing benefit location.
