Analysis

Does this
sound familiar?

You're saving for a full deposit when an LMI waiver is available to nurses and midwives - you just haven't been told about it.

Banks are only recognising a fraction of your overtime and shift income, drastically reducing your borrowing power.

You're unsure how salary packaging benefits apply to your mortgage eligibility, and no one has explained it properly.

[ 01 ]   Your professional advantage

Specialised
healthcare packages.

Whether you're a graduate nurse buying your first home or an experienced midwife expanding your property portfolio, Cutter & Co unlocks hidden benefits for nurses and midwives - exclusive LMI waivers, specialised interest rates, and full recognition of your shift-based income that generalist brokers simply can't access.

How We Help

Here's how
Cutter & Co helps.

Four things that change how a nurse or midwife home loan gets built, negotiated, and approved.

[ 01 ]

Exclusive LMI waivers for nurses & midwives.

Eligible nurses and midwives can borrow with a lower deposit and $0 Lenders Mortgage Insurance - saving thousands upfront.

[ 02 ]

Specialised medico interest rates.

Access healthcare-only rate discounts positioned below standard variable offerings, typically reserved for medical professionals.

[ 03 ]

Comprehensive income assessment.

We work with lenders who recognise 100% of your overtime, shift penalties, and allowances - maximising your borrowing power, not capping it.

[ 04 ]

Pre-approval for fast-moving deals.

The best opportunities move fast. We target pre-approval responses in 3-5 business days to keep you ahead of the market.

[ 03 ]   Roadmap

Your roadmap to
lending success.

Six deliberate steps engineered around the way you actually live, earn, and plan.

  1. 01

    First strategy session – 15 minutes

    Our team takes the time to understand your current financial position, future goals, and long-term objectives so we can provide the right lending strategy and guidance for you and your family - because the right strategy makes all the difference.

  2. 02

    Eligibility assessment

    We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your financial position, goals, and lending needs to provide tailored recommendations based on current lender policies and market research. By considering your income structure, lending requirements, and available rate discounts, we help match you with the lender and loan solution best suited to your circumstances.

  3. 03

    Submission to the bank

    We take the stress out of the lending process by managing everything on your behalf and working closely with the banks to ensure your application is assessed correctly from the start. Our team advocates for you behind the scenes to achieve the fastest possible pre-approval or formal approval turnaround, allowing you to focus on the exciting next steps with confidence and peace of mind.

  4. 04

    Pre-approval or approval

    Our team has a strong background in credit assessment, giving us the expertise to structure applications strategically and achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients. By working closely with lender credit teams throughout the process, we help secure smooth approvals and faster turnaround times for you.

  5. 05

    Settlement

    We make every stage of the process as seamless and stress-free as possible by providing a clear funding breakdown for your refinance or purchase, so you know exactly where you stand leading into settlement. We also manage the discharge process, coordinate with your solicitor or conveyancer, and handle the communication with the lender - allowing you to relax while we take care of everything behind the scenes until the moment we can say, “Congratulations, your loan has settled.”

  6. 06

    Ongoing support

    You’ll be supported by a mortgage and finance firm built entirely around people, not numbers. Our focus is always client-first - guiding and supporting you through every stage of your journey, from exciting milestones to times of uncertainty. We’re here to help protect what matters most to your family while ensuring your lending remains competitive, with the best possible rates and solutions available to you at every stage of life.

[ 06 ]   Essential answers

Questions nurses
& midwives
actually ask.

Short, honest answers to help you secure the best nurse home loan.

  • A bank can only offer its own products. A mortgage broker compares multiple lenders, policies, and loan structures to find an option that better suits your goals.

    At Cutter & Co, we look beyond the rate. We help structure your application, manage the paperwork, liaise with lenders and solicitors, and guide you from strategy through to settlement. For clients with complex income, business income, ABN income, or long-term wealth goals, the right broker can make the process clearer, smoother, and more strategic.
