Home Loans for Doctors & Medical Professionals

A home loan for a doctor isn't the same as a home loan for everyone else

Medical income can be complex — private billing, Medicare, hospital contracts, locum work, trust distributions, early career registrar income. Most lenders don't assess it well. We do. And we've been doing it since 2004.

The LMI waiver is real. But there's more to it than that.

Yes — certain lenders will lend to medical professionals up to 90% LVR without Lenders Mortgage Insurance. That can save you tens of thousands. But the deeper advantage is structural. Getting the right lender for your income type, your career stage, and your future plans changes what you can do — not just now, but in five years when you want to add an investment property or buy your practice rooms.

LMI Waiver to 90% LVR

Selected lenders waive Lenders Mortgage Insurance for medical professionals. We know which ones, what their criteria are, and how to get you approved.

Complex Income Assessment

Private billing, Medicare, hospital contracts, locum income, registrar pay, trust or company distributions — each lender assesses these differently. We match you to the right one for your situation.

Investment Property Strategy

Many medical professionals build significant property portfolios alongside their practice. We structure borrowing to maximise serviceability across multiple properties without limiting future capacity.

Long-Term Relationship

Your finance needs evolve as your career progresses. First home, investment property, practice buy-in, commercial rooms. We're the brokers clients come back to — and refer their colleagues to.
