Lenders often view nurses and midwives as low-risk borrowers. This is because healthcare professionals, particularly those working in critical sectors, are highly sought after and their employment remains stable. Nurses and midwives are essential to the Australian healthcare system, and the demand for their services is unlikely to diminish. For this reason, they are seen as reliable, stable, and well-paid workers, making them an attractive prospect for lenders.
LMI Waivers: One of the most attractive benefits available to nurses is the ability to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance. LMI is typically required when a borrower has a deposit less than 20% of the property’s value. For nurses, however, some lenders waive this fee, which can save you thousands of dollars. By waiving LMI, lenders make home loans more affordable for nurses, especially buyers who may not have a large deposit saved.
Discounted Interest Rates: Many lenders offer interest rate discounts to nurses as a further benefit. Since nurses are considered low-risk borrowers with a steady income, lenders are more likely to offer them reduced interest rates, which ultimately reduces the overall cost of the loan. Lower interest rates also translate into more affordable loan repayments, which is a significant financial benefit for nurses looking to manage their household expenses.
By working with Zenith, we can help you access these exclusive home loan benefits. We’ll compare lenders to find the best deal for your situation.
At Zenith, we take pride in our deep understanding of the healthcare profession and how it impacts home loan eligibility. Nurses, midwives, and healthcare professionals have unique financial situations due to the nature of their work, and we are here to help navigate those complexities to secure the best loan options for you.
Expertise in Nursing and Healthcare Professions
Unlike many other brokers, Zenith specialises in assisting nurses and other healthcare professionals. We understand that the demands of the nursing profession go far beyond typical office hours. Nurses often work long shifts, including nights, weekends, and public holidays, which can make it more difficult to secure a home loan with traditional lenders. Our team is familiar with the nuances of these working arrangements, and we ensure that lenders properly take this into account during the application process.
Understanding Shift Work and Irregular Hours
Shift work and irregular hours are a part of daily life for nurses, and this can affect your home loan application in different ways. Many lenders struggle with accepting income from shift work, and it can impact loan approval. We know how to demonstrate the reliability and stability of your income, even if your schedule is unpredictable. Whether you’re a full-time nurse, part-time, or work casual hours, we can ensure that your work pattern is properly presented to lenders so it doesn’t hinder your application.
Income from Allowances and Overtime
Nurses often earn additional income through allowances (such as meal or travel allowances) and overtime. While some lenders may not consider these forms of income when calculating your borrowing power, our mortgage brokers are well-versed in how these earnings are treated. We’ll help you present these additional income sources in a way that maximises your borrowing capacity.
Overtime, for instance, is a common part of a nurse’s earnings. We understand how overtime works and how it’s considered by lenders. We know how to document and substantiate this income to ensure it’s factored into your loan application. This is crucial because many nurses rely on overtime pay to supplement their standard wages, and it can significantly improve your loan eligibility.
Tailored Support for Self-Employed and Casual Nurses
We also specialise in assisting self-employed nurses or those working on casual or part-time contracts. Securing a home loan as a casual employee can be more challenging, but our experience allows us to guide you through the process. We work closely with lenders who understand the nature of casual and self-employed income, ensuring you don’t miss out on benefits that are available to nurses in all employment types.
Dedicated to Your Unique Financial Needs
We don’t just look at your income; we consider your whole financial picture. We’re familiar with how nurses manage their finances and can assist you with finding the best home loan options tailored specifically to your situation. Whether you’re seeking to buy your first home, refinance an existing loan, or invest in property, we offer personalised advice to help you secure the best terms.
Access to Exclusive Nurse Deals
We work with a range of lenders who offer exclusive LMI waivers, higher borrowing limits, and discounted interest rates for nurses. We will help you find the right deal for your circumstances.
Wide Range of Lenders
With access to a large network of lenders, we can compare multiple options to ensure that you receive the best deal available. Our extensive lender network ensures that we find the most competitive rates and terms for you.
Our role is to simplify the home loan process, and we take the time to understand the intricacies of your career to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Ready to unlock exclusive home loan deals for nurses? Contact our specialist mortgage brokers today to get started.
Schedule a consultation with one of our home loan experts
Nurses come in a variety of roles and specialties, and many of these professionals qualify for home loan perks. The following groups of nurses are generally eligible for the exclusive deals offered by lenders:
If you’re unsure whether your role qualifies for these benefits, Zenith can assist you by reviewing your qualifications and job history to determine your eligibility.
Whether you’re applying for a new home loan or refinancing an existing one to secure better rates, the process can seem overwhelming. But with the right guidance, it becomes a smooth and manageable journey. Below is a simplified, step-by-step guide to help nurses navigate their home loan journey, whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to refinance for better terms.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The first step is to reach out to Zenith to discuss your home loan needs. Whether you’re applying for a new loan or refinancing your current mortgage, we begin by assessing your individual situation. For nurses, the consultation will help determine whether you’re eligible for exclusive benefits like LMI waivers. We’ll discuss your financial position, goals, and the type of loan you’re seeking.
Tip: Be prepared to discuss your work status, income, and any financial goals you may have, as this will help us recommend the best options for you.
Step 2: Gather and Submit Documents
Once we’ve established your eligibility, the next step is gathering all necessary documentation. For both new loans and refinancing, lenders will require specific financial documentation to proceed.
Documents typically required for both loan applications and refinancing include:
If you’re refinancing, you’ll also need to provide details about your current mortgage, including interest rates, remaining balance, and loan terms.
Step 3: Loan Application Review and Assessment
Once we have all the required documentation, we will submit your application to the selected lender. The lender will begin reviewing your loan application.
Step 4: Pre-Approval or Refinancing Offer
After the review, you’ll receive a pre-approval letter for a new home loan, or a refinancing offer for better terms. This letter will give you an idea of your budget and borrowing capacity (in case of a new loan). If you’re refinancing, it will outline the new terms, including rates and fees.
Step 5: Final Loan Approval & Settlement
If all checks are complete and satisfactory, your loan will be officially approved, and settlement can occur shortly afterwards. For refinancing, this means paying off your existing loan with the new one, often with the benefit of better interest rates and terms.
For new home loans, settlement involves the lender providing the loan amount, which is then used to purchase the property. You will also receive instructions on how to begin managing your repayments.
After settlement, Zenith will continue to assist you with ongoing support to ensure your loan meets your needs.
Tip: Refinancing can be an excellent option for nurses seeking to lower their mortgage repayments, consolidate debt, or unlock better terms based on the equity in their property.
Most registered nurses, midwives, and certain other healthcare professionals can access home loans with no LMI, provided they meet the lender’s eligibility criteria.
Your borrowing capacity will depend on factors like income, credit history, and job stability. However, nurses typically have access to more flexible borrowing options, and they may qualify for better interest rates than many other borrowers.
Several lenders, including major banks and specialised lenders, offer home loan deals for nurses. Zenith can help you compare offers from various lenders to find the best deal.
Common documents required include payslips, tax returns, identification, and possibly business documentation if you’re self-employed.
Yes, part-time and casual nurses can also access LMI waivers and other home loan benefits, provided they meet the lender’s criteria.

We specialise in offering tailored home loan solutions to a wide range of professionals across all industries
Partnering with a mortgage broker like Zenith can significantly streamline your home loan journey. We provide expert advice on loan products carefully tailored to your unique financial situation. By handling the legwork, comparing multiple options, managing paperwork, and negotiating better terms, we save you valuable time and help identify potential hidden fees. As we are not tied to any single lender, we can select the best loan for your needs, ensuring you secure the most suitable deal. Additionally, we proactively review your interest rate multiple times per year to ensure you remain on the most competitive rate available, maximising your savings and giving you long-term peace of mind.
Our services are provided at no cost to you. We receive compensation directly from the lender you choose once your loan is settled, ensuring that you can explore your options without incurring any upfront fees.
Each lender has unique criteria and requirements that must be met before they approve a loan. Our team takes the time to thoroughly analyse your credit history, income situation, and the specific strengths and weaknesses of your financial circumstances. This allows us to match you with the most suitable lender and loan package tailored to your needs. Our experienced professionals will provide you with comprehensive information, ensuring you have everything necessary to make an informed decision.
To begin, we’ll work closely with you to understand your goals and objectives. We’ll then gather and review all necessary supporting documents to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of your situation. Once we have sufficient information to make a personalised recommendation, the next step will depend on the chosen lender’s processing timeline. This can vary from several weeks to a few months, which is why we strongly advise initiating the process as early as possible, especially when it comes to property purchases, where timing can be crucial.
You may not always qualify for financing from a specific bank. After assessing your unique situation, we’ll work to find you the lowest possible interest rate from eligible lenders. While interest rates are important, they’re just one piece of the puzzle. We’ll also help you consider all other fees and features associated with each loan option, ensuring you have a complete understanding of your choices and can make an informed decision that best suits your needs.
Typically, lenders require a minimum deposit of 5% of the property’s purchase price to secure a home loan. However, in some cases, it may be possible to proceed with a lower deposit. Keep in mind that if your deposit is less than 20% of the property’s price, you may need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), unless you qualify for an LMI waiver or apply for a family guarantee.
