Professional Home Loan Packages For Dentists
Banks see dental professionals as low-risk borrowers, and that means you qualify for benefits that standard borrowers don't. Here's what that actually means for you.
Waived LMI
Borrow up to 90% of the property value without paying LMI. For most borrowers, that's $15,000 to $35,000 in savings depending on your loan size. We'll show you the exact numbers for your situation.
Interest Rate Discounts
Professional packages can save you 0.10% to 0.50% below standard rates. Over a 30 year loan, that's potentially $20,000 to $60,000 in interest savings. Membership in professional associations like the ADA or ADC often unlocks the best rates.
Higher Borrowing Limits
Lenders assess your future earning potential, not just your current income. If you're a new graduate or mid career dentist, this means you can typically borrow more than someone in another profession at the same income level.
Flexible Income Assessment
Own a practice? Work as a contractor? We know which lenders assess dental income properly, accounting for practice profitability, drawings, and complex employment structures that confuse mainstream banks.
How Much Can You Save?
Lenders Mortgage Insurance is what banks charge when you borrow more than 80% of a property's value. It protects the bank, not you, and it can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000+ depending on your loan size.As a dental professional, you can borrow up to 95% of the property value and avoid this cost entirely.
What Do You Need To Know?
When you know you can save up to $50,000, you need to keep these two things in mind.
What You Need to Qualify for LMI Waiver
Most lenders require you to be a registered dental professional with membership in a recognised association like the ADA or ADC. Since criteria vary across lenders, we compare options for every employment status (including PAYG, contractor, and self-employed dentists) to find LMI waivers often unavailable through mainstream banks.
When LMI Waiver Makes the Biggest Difference
If you're a first home buyer with limited savings, avoiding LMI can be the difference between buying now or waiting another 2–3 years to save a 20% deposit. For practice owners managing existing business debt, it means you can secure a home loan without needing to wait until your practice loan is significantly paid down.
Interest Rate Discounts for Dental Professionals
This isn't a limited time promotion. It's an ongoing recognition that dentists are stable, high income professionals.
Why Banks Offer Dentists Better Rates
Your profession has low unemployment, high earning potential, and predictable career progression. Banks compete for dental professionals because you're considered low risk borrowers. That competition works in your favour.
Association Membership Matters
Most lenders require active membership in the ADA or ADC to access professional package rates. Some lenders are more flexible than others, which is why comparing 40+ lenders matters. We know which ones have the best rates and the most reasonable eligibility criteria.
0.10% to 0.50%
Rate Discount
On a $750,000 loan over 30 years, a 0.30% discount saves you approximately $33,000 in interest. Over the life of your loan, that's a significant amount back in your pocket.
Who Qualifies for Dentists Home Loans?
Not all dental professionals automatically qualify for every professional package, so let's be clear about who's eligible and what lenders look for.
Eligible Job Titles
8 qualifying positions
Employment Status Requirements
The documentation requirements differ, but professional packages aren't limited to PAYG employees like many people assume.
You can qualify whether you're a salaried associate dentist, a practice owner, a contractor, or working a mix of PAYG and self-employed income. We regularly secure professional rates for self-employed dentists and contractors.
Required Professional Memberships
We know which lenders have the most flexible criteria. You must be a current member of one of these recognised bodies:
Australian Dental Association (ADA)
Australian Dental Council (ADC)
Australian Society of Orthodontists
Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons
New Graduates vs. Established Dentists
New graduates with limited work history can still qualify, though some lenders require a minimum period of registration or a certain income level. Established dentists with longer track records often access the most competitive rates and highest borrowing limits. This is where having access to 40+ lenders makes a real difference.

Book Free ConsultationHome Loan Solutions for Every Stage of Your Career
Your mortgage needs look different depending on where you are in your career. Here's how we help at each stage.
First-time Home Buyers
You can get into the property market sooner than you think. With only a 5% or 10% deposit, you can access waived LMI and still borrow competitively. We'll also help you navigate HECS/HELP debt, which lenders treat differently depending on your income level and repayment thresholds.
Upgrading Your Family Home
If you've built equity in your current home, we can show you how to leverage it for your next purchase without needing to sell first. We'll calculate whether it makes sense to keep your current property as an investment or sell it to maximise your upgrade budget.
Investment Properties for Wealth Building
We'll help you structure loans to maximise tax benefits, preserve borrowing capacity for future purchases, and choose between interest-only and principal and interest repayments based on your strategy. We understand the structuring that makes sense.
Refinancing Your Existing Loan
You could be paying more than necessary. We'll calculate whether refinancing saves you enough to justify the switching costs. Sometimes it makes sense to wait, while other times you could be saving $300+ per month immediately. We'll run the numbers honestly.
Relocating for Your Practice
Moving interstate for a new position or practice opportunity? Lenders assess interstate purchases differently, and timing matters when you're selling in one state and buying in another. We'll coordinate the process to minimise stress and maximise your borrowing power in your new location.
Complex Income Structures?
We've Got You Covered
If you're self employed, work as a contractor, or have multiple income streams, you know that mainstream banks don't always understand how dental income works. We do, and we know which lenders assess it properly.
Contractors & Subcontractors
Working across multiple clinics or contracts often confuses automated bank systems. We identify lenders who manually assess dental income and guide you on the exact documentation needed, ensuring your unique arrangements are presented in the best possible light for approval.
Practice Owners & Self-Employed Dentists
Owning a practice often makes your personal income appear lower on paper. We understand dental financials and connect you with lenders who look beyond tax returns to assess your true earning capacity, ensuring your complex business structure doesn't hold you back.
Locum & On-Call Arrangements
Inconsistent pay cycles from locum work can complicate loan applications. We know which lenders accept locum income and understand their specific calculation methods. We guide you through the necessary history requirements to ensure your fluctuating earnings are assessed correctly.
Required Documentation
We'll give you a specific checklist once we understand your income structure. But typically what you need depends on your specific situation:
The Application Process,
Simple Steps to Approval
We're mortgage brokers based in Sydney, and we specialise in home loans for professionals, including dentists. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us, from first conversation to settlement.
We'll be with you at every stage. No need to figure it out alone!
01
Free Initial Consultation
We discuss your situation: employment type, income, existing debts, and property goals. We'll give you an honest opinion of what you can borrow, which lenders are most likely to approve you, with the document that you need. We won't run a credit check at this stage.
02
Documentation & Pre-Approval
Once you decide to proceed, we'll collect your documentation and submit a pre-approval application to the most suitable lender. Pre-approval gives you a conditional loan offer that's valid for 3–6 months (depending on the lender). You'll know your borrowing limit and can shop for properties with confidence.
03
Formal Application & Approval
Once you've found a property and your offer is accepted, we submit the formal loan application with property details and a valuation. The lender assesses everything, including the property's value, and provides formal approval. During this time, you're working with your conveyancer or solicitor on the contract.
04
Settlement
The lender prepares loan documents, you sign everything, and settlement occurs on the agreed date. The funds transfer, and you receive the keys. We stay involved throughout the process to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Simply gets the job done, and gets it done very quickly. Thanks for everything Dylan, you're a champion broker and a good mate.”
Christian Barać
Homeowner
“Nate and Dylan were the ultimate professionals in securing a home loan to help us purchase our first home! Following the purchase of our home, they have continued to provide their exceptional service and have been able to secure two rate reductions in six months! Being self-employed wasn't an issue for me as Nate knew the process back-to-front and was able to provide sound advice throughout the application process.”
Justin Tomas
Homeowner
“It was an absolute brilliant experience with Stryve. Our first purchase was with Dylan he was always clear re: the next steps, quick to respond, never tired of questions and went over and above with communication. We went back and used him again for our next investment and the experience was just as wonderful as the first. Stryve also reviews our loans every 6 months to make sure we are getting the best rates on offer. We couldn't ask for more!”
