Medical Professionals

If you work in the healthcare industry, some lenders may assess your application differently due to the nature of your employment, income profile and career stability.

We provide credit assistance to help medical professionals understand how different lenders approach lending for healthcare roles and what options may be available based on individual circumstances.

How lenders may assess medical professionals

Depending on your role, experience and employment structure, some lenders may offer features or policy settings that differ from standard home loan applications. These can include:

  • Waived Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) for eligible medical professionals, even with deposits below 20% 
  • Interest rate discounts, subject to lender pricing and assessment 
  • Reduced or waived fees, depending on the lender and loan type 
  • Simplified income assessment, particularly for certain employment arrangements

Availability of these features varies between lenders and is subject to eligibility criteria, credit policy and approval.

How we help

We help medical professionals understand:

  • Which lenders recognise different healthcare roles 
  • How income is assessed across salaried, contract and private practice arrangements 
  • What documentation may be required 
  • How lender policies differ and what that means for your application

Our role is to explain your lending options clearly, compare lender approaches, and guide you through the application and settlement process.
