If your profession is listed above, you could be eligible for exclusive home loan benefits that most Australians don't have access to — including having Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) completely waived.
Your profession unlocks benefits most home buyers simply don't have access to. Here's what's possible:
Your profession qualifies you to have Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) waived. Instead of needing a 20% deposit, you could buy with as little as 5–10% deposit — without paying the insurance premium that protects the bank, not you.
Select lenders allow eligible medical professionals to borrow up to 95% of the property value without LMI. On a $1M property, you only need $50,000 deposit instead of $200,000 — freeing up $150,000 for your life.
Professional packages offer higher lending limits than standard products. Some lenders allow total aggregated lending up to $8M for eligible professionals, with individual property values accepted up to $12M at select lenders.
Many professional packages come with exclusive rate discounts and fee waivers not available to the general public. Your profession is considered lower risk, and lenders compete for your business.
Some lenders accept your converted practice premises as residential security — a unique benefit for medical and legal professionals operating from residential-zoned properties.
Each lender has different eligibility criteria, LVR limits, income requirements, and profession lists. This is exactly why you need a broker who knows every lender's professional package inside-out.

Find My Best Lender — FreeDifferent lenders offer different levels of benefits based on profession type. Here's an overview of what's available:
While doctors and dentists typically receive the highest benefits (up to 95% LVR without LMI), many other professions also qualify for significant savings. The key difference? Not every lender recognises every profession.
For example, nurses and midwives are only eligible at one major lender group. Engineers and architects have even fewer options. Without a broker who knows every lender's policy, you could miss out entirely.
LMI can cost up to $36,000+. Here's what lenders typically require for the waiver:
