- Mortgage Broker for Nurses and Midwives
Home Loans for Nurses and Midwives Built on Real Results
Write Finance helps nurses, midwives, and healthcare workers across Brisbane and Queensland secure home loans with clear strategy, accurate income assessment, and lender selection that reflects how your income actually works.
- What You Get With Write Finance
Nurses and midwives often earn significantly more than their base salary reflects, but standard bank calculators rarely capture shift allowances, overtime, and casual loading in full. We assess your complete income picture and structure your application around what you genuinely earn, not what a payslip summary suggests.
We understand where Brisbane and Queensland's healthcare workers are based, where they are buying, and how lender policies apply across those local property markets. Whether you work in a major Brisbane hospital, a regional Queensland facility, or across multiple sites, we know how to position your application within the lending landscape that applies to your area.
Not every lender treats nurse and midwife income the same way. We work with over 60 banks, credit unions, and non-bank lenders, and specialist providers that offer professional loan packages with waived LMI and discounted rates specifically for eligible healthcare professionals. Not every lender treats nurse and midwife income the same way, and having access to this full panel is how we match you with the one that genuinely suits how you earn.
From payslips and employment contracts to agency agreements and tax returns, we prepare your application with the documentation lenders actually want to see. For nurses and midwives with complex arrangements, such as multiple employers, agency work, or casual contracts, how your income is presented to a lender matters as much as what you earn.
We work with a wide network of trusted lenders from the big four banks to specialist providers, giving nurses and midwives across Brisbane and Queensland more choice, stronger negotiation power, and loan options aligned to how healthcare income is structured and assessed.
We help nurses, midwives, enrolled nurses, and healthcare shift workers across Brisbane and Queensland secure home loans with clarity and confidence. Support covers:
- Getting your shift allowances, overtime, and casual loading counted accurately toward your borrowing capacity
- Accessing professional loan packages with LMI waivers available to eligible healthcare workers
- Structuring home loans around your employment type, whether permanent, casual, contract, or agency-based

- Over 60 Lenders

Home Loan Strategies Built Around How Your Healthcare Career Works
Owner-Occupied Home Purchases
Buying a home as a nurse or midwife in Queensland is straightforward when your income is assessed correctly. We structure loans around your full earnings, including base salary, shift penalties, overtime, and allowances, so your borrowing capacity reflects what you actually take home. Whether you are buying your first home or upgrading, we make sure the loan fits your career stage and long-term goals.
Investment Property Loans
Healthcare careers provide a stable, reliable income base that lenders respond well to when structuring investment loans. Whether you are buying your first investment property in Brisbane or Queensland, or expanding an existing portfolio, we build investment loan strategies that protect your borrowing capacity, account for rental income correctly, and align with your long-term financial goals alongside your clinical career.
Home Loan Refinancing
If your current home loan has not been reviewed in the last 12 to 18 months, there is a real chance you are paying more than necessary or sitting in a structure that no longer suits your position. Many nurses and midwives across Brisbane and Queensland secured loans before professional healthcare packages became available. We review your existing loan and refinance you into a more competitive arrangement where it makes clear financial sense.
Equity Release and Upgrade Planning
As your career progresses and your property value grows, your equity becomes a useful tool. We help nurses and midwives access that equity for renovations, a deposit on a second property, or restructuring existing lending to improve cash flow. The strategy is built around your income trajectory and long-term property goals, not just the immediate transaction.
Self-Employed and Agency Nurses
Some nurses and midwives operate through their own company, ABN, or nursing agency, which places them in a different lending category to a standard salaried employee. We work with lenders who understand self-employed healthcare income and can assess your position fairly, using BAS statements, accountant declarations, and business financials to build a complete and accurate picture of your borrowing capacity.
First Home Buyer Support
For nurses and midwives buying their first home across Brisbane and Queensland, we walk through the full process, from borrowing capacity assessment and lender selection to government grants, stamp duty concessions, and LMI waiver eligibility. Many first home buyer nurses qualify for more than they realise, and we make sure nothing is overlooked before your application is submitted.
How Our Lending Process Works
Understanding You and Your Income
We start with a proper conversation, not a generic online form. We want to understand how your income is structured, whether you are permanent, casual, contract, or agency-based, how many employers you work across, and what your property goals look like. Nurses and midwives across Brisbane and Queensland often have income spread across base pay, shift allowances, penalty rates, and overtime, and capturing that correctly from the start is how we make sure your application reflects your real financial position.
Assessing Your Financial Position
For healthcare workers, a thorough income assessment involves more than a payslip. We review your employment contracts, payslips, tax returns, and where relevant, agency agreements and business financials to build an accurate picture of your genuine borrowing capacity. We factor in overtime and casual loading using the income assessment methods lenders actually accept, and we check whether your employment type and income level qualify you for professional loan packages, including LMI waivers available to eligible nurses and midwives. For clients across Brisbane and Queensland, we also review lender appetite for your target suburb, since valuations and postcode lending policies in areas like Moorooka, Bracken Ridge, Carindale, and the Bayside can influence both your approval outcome and your loan terms.
Structuring and Lender Matching
We compare policies and rates across more than 60 lenders, including the big four banks, mutual lenders, and specialist non-bank providers that offer products well suited to nurses and midwives. Some lenders are more generous in how they treat healthcare shift income, others have sharper rates or better offset features. We look well beyond the headline rate and make sure the loan structure supports your current career stage and future plans, whether that is buying your first home, refinancing your existing loan, or setting up a property investment strategy.
Documentation, Approval, and Settlement
Once the right lender and structure are confirmed, we manage the documentation preparation and submission process from start to finish. We keep your application moving efficiently, manage lender communication, and keep you updated at every stage so there are no surprises between approval and settlement. After settlement, we continue to review your position so your lending keeps pace with your career and your financial goals as they evolve.

Why us
Why Nurses and Midwives Choose Write Finance for Their Home Loans
Write Finance supports nurses, midwives, and healthcare professionals across Brisbane and Queensland who want home loan advice built around how their income actually works. Most lenders discount or ignore shift allowances, overtime, and casual loading entirely, which means your borrowing capacity is assessed well below what your income actually supports.
Healthcare income requires a more detailed approach. Whether you are a registered nurse in a public hospital, a midwife working across multiple facilities, a casual enrolled nurse, or a self-employed nurse running your own agency, the strategy we build reflects your specific situation, not a generic template.
You will work directly with senior broker Mark Tran, with guidance that stays strategic, transparent, and focused on long-term outcomes rather than a transactional approval and handoff.

How Home Loans for Nurses and Midwives Work
Home loans for nurses and midwives are assessed differently when income includes shift work, casual employment, or multiple employers. Lenders look at income consistency across pay periods, how overtime and allowances have been earned over time, and whether your employment contract supports what you are claiming.
The most common issue is that banks discount shift allowances and overtime, or exclude them entirely, which reduces your assessed borrowing capacity well below what you actually earn. Assessment methods vary significantly between lenders, and choosing the right one for your income type makes a material difference to your outcome.
We identify which lenders will assess your income most accurately and structures your application so lenders see the full picture. For eligible nurses and midwives, we also identify professional loan packages that can reduce or eliminate lenders mortgage insurance, sometimes saving tens of thousands of dollars on a Brisbane and Queensland property purchase.
Documents Lenders Need for Nurse and Midwife Home Loans
Home loan applications for nurses and midwives require more documentation than a standard salaried application, particularly when income includes shift allowances, overtime, or casual loading. Lenders want to understand your income consistency, employment stability, and repayment capacity across different working arrangements.
Most lenders require your two most recent payslips. For shift workers, payslips should clearly show base salary, shift allowances, and any overtime paid across the relevant period.
Your employment contract confirms your role, employment type, and contracted hours. For nurses working across multiple facilities or under a rostered arrangement, this document helps lenders verify income consistency.
Your most recent personal tax return supports your total income declaration and is particularly important for nurses with overtime, agency income, or multiple employers. For self-employed nurses, the last two years of tax returns are typically required.
Lenders review your bank statements to confirm income deposits, assess living expenses, and check savings behaviour. 3 to 6 months of statements is the standard requirement for most lenders.
For nurses and midwives working through an agency or operating under their own ABN, agency agreements and business registration documents may be required alongside financial statements and BAS records.
Your most recent group certificate or ATO income summary provides a full-year income picture, which is particularly useful when overtime and allowances form a significant part of your annual earnings.
Home Loan FAQs for Nurses and Midwives
Most lenders require a minimum deposit of 5% to 10% for a standard home loan. However, we work with lenders that offer professional loan packages specifically for healthcare workers, which can allow eligible nurses and midwives to borrow up to 90% or in some cases 95% of the property value with lenders mortgage insurance waived entirely. This can significantly reduce the deposit needed to enter the Brisbane and Queensland property market.
This is one of the most important decisions we make on your behalf. Assessment methods vary significantly across our panel of 60+ lenders. Some will count 100% of your regular overtime and shift allowances if they appear consistently across your payslips. Others apply an 80% discount or exclude variable income altogether, which can reduce your borrowing capacity by tens of thousands of dollars. Write Finance identifies which lenders apply the most accurate and favourable assessment method for your specific income structure, so what you can borrow actually reflects what you earn.
Yes, in most cases. Write Finance works with lenders across Brisbane and Queensland who assess casual healthcare income fairly, provided your employment history is consistent. Lenders typically look for 12 months of payslips showing regular hours and stable income with the same employer or facility. The stronger and more consistent your casual history, the more lender options you have. Mark reviews your specific arrangement first and identifies the most appropriate lenders and application approach before anything is submitted.
Many do, and this is one of the first things we check. We have access to lenders that offer professional loan packages with waived LMI for eligible registered nurses and midwives, often up to 90% LVR and in some cases higher. Eligibility depends on your AHPRA registration, employment type, and income level. We assess whether you qualify as part of your initial consultation and structure your application to take full advantage of those conditions where applicable, which can save eligible Brisbane and Queensland nurses a significant amount upfront.
It depends on your goals and income structure. For owner-occupied purchases,We typically recommend a variable rate loan with an offset account, which works well for nurses and midwives with variable shift income who benefit from parking surplus funds to reduce interest between pay cycles. For investment properties, an interest-only period can help manage cash flow while your Brisbane and Queensland property grows in value. For self-employed nurses operating through an ABN or agency, we identify specialist lenders with flexible income assessment policies.
Refinancing Home Loans for Nurses and Midwives
Refinancing is worth reviewing if your loan has not been assessed in the past 12 to 18 months. For nurses and midwives across Brisbane and Queensland, this is particularly relevant if your income has grown through career progression or additional shifts, if professional healthcare loan packages with better rates or waived LMI have become available since you originally borrowed, or if your current lender is no longer the most competitive option across Write Finance’s panel of 60+ lenders. Write Finance reviews your current loan against the full market and gives you a clear picture of whether switching makes genuine financial sense before you make any decision.
Yes. If your Brisbane or Queensland property has grown in value since you purchased it, Write Finance can help you refinance and access a portion of that equity for a renovation, a deposit on an investment property, or other financial goals. Write Finance assesses your current equity position, your income capacity to service the increased lending, and the most appropriate lender and structure for what you are trying to achieve, so the refinance is built around a clear strategy rather than just a rate comparison.
Yes, lenders reassess your complete financial position when you refinance, including your current income, employment type, existing debts, and property value. For nurses and midwives whose earnings have grown since their original loan, this reassessment often works in your favour. Write Finance prepares your refinance application with the same level of detail as a new purchase, making sure your full income including shift allowances, overtime, and casual loading is assessed accurately by the right lender rather than discounted by the wrong one.
They directly affect which lenders across our panel are the most appropriate fit for your refinance. Some lenders will apply a more generous income assessment to nurses and midwives with a strong repayment history and consistent income over time, which can mean a higher borrowing limit and better terms than your original loan. Write Finance reviews your income structure in detail and identifies the lenders whose assessment methods will produce the strongest outcome for your specific situation across Brisbane and Queensland, whether that means a lower rate, improved structure, or access to equity.
The most common mistakes are refinancing to a lower rate without reviewing the overall loan structure, not accounting for break costs on existing fixed rate loans, and going directly to a single bank that discounts shift income and ends up offering less than expected. Many nurses and midwives also underestimate how much their income has grown and therefore what they now qualify for. Write Finance compares across more than 60 lenders, assesses your full income correctly from the start, and makes sure the refinance outcome is genuinely better than your current position in every way before you make the switch.
