Junior Doctor & Intern Home Loans: 95% LVR from PGY-1
Let's be completely honest about what it takes to reach this stage of your medical career. While your university friends were starting corporate jobs, taking annual holidays, and buying property in their mid-twenties, you were grinding through 14-hour ward shifts, moving hospital networks every twelve months, and studying for brutal College Fellowship exams until 2:00 AM.
Now you are ready to secure finance for your family home or clinical practice, but retail bank branch tellers treat your income like an ordinary consumer application. They miscalculate hospital overtime, fail to recognize AHPRA specialist waiver privileges, and demand tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary Lenders Mortgage Insurance fees.
Under institutional Medico Lending Policies, Australian doctors qualify for 90% to 95% LVR borrowing with 100% Lenders Mortgage Insurance waivers, saving between $35,000 and $92,000 in upfront cash.
Here is the strategy: We connect you directly with accredited wholesale healthcare credit desks that understand your medical career structure, gross up your salary packaging, and secure formal underwritten approval in under 48 hours.
How It Works (Takes 60 Seconds)
1. Why Standard Bank Branches Get Doctor Loans Wrong
Walking into a local suburban branch is the #1 mistake high-earning doctors make. Branch staff rarely hold accreditation with their bank's internal High Net Worth / Medico underwriting division. They apply standard consumer scorecards that shade overtime and cap loans at retail limits.

"We have an auction this Saturday in Paddington with an online pre-approval from CBA for $1.4M. Our conveyancer warned us that Statutory Policy waives all cooling-off rights. If the hammer falls at $1.38M, what happens if the bank valuer down-values the property on Monday?"
"Under Victoria's Medical Board Register Section 31, we know auction sales waive the 3-day cooling-off period. Does this also apply if the property passes in and we negotiate a private contract in the auction room 20 minutes later?"
