According to a report by AAP, figures released by Labour over the weekend showed 18,703 people had received the grant in October, with only Queensland and the Northern Territory recording a drop from the previous month in the number of successful applicants.
This is compared with the 17,898 who took advantage of the grant in September, its final month at the more generous rate.
The grant has officially helped 190,050 buyers into the market since October last year.
