What Is a Doctor Home Loan?

Specialist Lending Designed for the Medical Profession

A doctor home loan is a specialised mortgage product offered by select lenders that recognises your earning potential as a medical professional. These products come with benefits not available to standard borrowers — most notably the ability to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) even with less than a 20% deposit.

At NMC Finance, we work exclusively with lenders who understand the medical profession. Whether you’re an intern, registrar, or established specialist, we can structure a loan that works for your career stage and financial goals.

The LMI Waiver — A Game-Changer for Doctors

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is an additional cost charged when you borrow more than 80% of a property’s value. For a $1M property, this can be $20,000–$40,000 added to your loan.

As a medical professional, select lenders will waive this fee entirely — even at up to 90–95% LVR — because your income trajectory and job security are considered low risk.

Broker vs Bank

Why Use a Mortgage Broker for Your Doctor Home Loan?

Going directly to one bank limits you to that bank’s products and policies. A mortgage broker compares options across multiple lenders and helps you find what’s most suitable for your situation.

Going Directly to a Bank

One set of products, one set of assessment and lending policies.

  • Access to exclusive doctor home loan products
  • LMI waiver negotiation
  • Advice tailored to medical professionals
  • Compare multiple lenders side-by-side
  • Pre-approval and ongoing loan management
  • Understanding of HECS debt and on-call income
  • No upfront fees for advice
  • Local support in 10 Australian locations

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can doctors get LMI waived on their home loan?

Yes. Many lenders offer LMI waivers for doctors and medical professionals at up to 90–95% LVR. The exact eligibility criteria vary by lender, but most require AHPRA registration and employment in a medical role.

With an LMI waiver, doctors can often purchase with as little as 5–10% deposit. Without a waiver, 20% is typically needed to avoid LMI. NMC Finance can identify the right lender for your deposit level.
Yes. Some lenders will assess your application based on your letter of employment as an intern or your contract as a registrar. Your projected income trajectory as a doctor is often factored into your assessment.
Yes, HECS debt is treated as a liability and reduces your borrowing power. However, specialist lenders understand that medical graduates typically have significant HECS debt and still assess your application favourably.
Several major and non-major lenders have specialist medical professional home loan products. NMC Finance has access to 15+ lenders including those with exclusive programs not available through standard brokers.
Yes. Most specialist medical lenders will accept overtime, on-call, and shift allowances as part of your income assessment — provided you can demonstrate a consistent history over 3–12 months.
A specialist broker like NMC Finance compares multiple lenders simultaneously, has access to exclusive products, and can negotiate LMI waivers on your behalf — benefits you cannot typically get from going directly to one bank.
Absolutely. We offer free planning consultations to help you map out your timeline, savings targets, and financial preparation. Many clients work with us 6–12 months before they are ready to buy.
