At Teacher Loans, we understand the unique financial journey of educators. As dedicated finance and mortgage brokers, we specialise in helping teachers and education professionals access loan options from banks and lenders across Australia. Our mission is to ensure you secure the best possible terms, whether you're thinking about topping up your home loan, planning renovations, or considering buying an investment property. With our expertise, you can explore better loan options tailored to your needs.
Our services are designed to make your financial decisions easier and more rewarding. One of the key areas where we assist is in finding competitive interest rates. Whether you're aiming to pay off your home sooner or looking to reduce or lock in your repayments, we can help you navigate the often complex landscape of interest rates. By reviewing your current home loan rate, we ensure you're accessing a lower interest rate when possible, potentially saving you thousands over the life of your loan. Our team can guide you through switching between fixed and variable rates or altering the loan term to suit your financial goals.
Another significant service we offer is refinancing. If you're coming to the end of a fixed-rate term or facing a roll-off rate, it might be time for a loan health check. We provide insights into how much you can save by refinancing your home loan. By accessing better loan features, you can consolidate debts or reduce loan repayments, making your financial commitments more manageable. Whether you're releasing equity in your property to buy the next property or simply planning for future needs, our expertise ensures you make informed decisions.
Regularly reviewing your loan is crucial to maintaining financial health. As part of our comprehensive service, we offer mortgage health checks to evaluate your current situation and future plans. If you're considering changes such as switching to a fixed interest rate or adjusting the loan amount, our team is here to guide you through these transitions smoothly. We also assist in releasing equity for renovations or investment opportunities, ensuring your financial strategy aligns with your long-term objectives.
Teacher Loans is committed to providing educators with personalised financial solutions. By choosing us as your finance and mortgage brokers, you're partnering with a team that understands the nuances of the education sector. Our goal is to support you in achieving financial security and flexibility, whether by accessing a lower interest rate or exploring better loan options. Contact us today for a comprehensive mortgage health check and discover how we can help you optimise your financial future.

Carl has been amazing to work with. He was on the ball straight from the start with knowing all the information I would need to provide. He was quick to respond while others would not return communication for weeks. He managed to secure me a great product in a short amount of time, even while we are on opposite sides of the country. I highly recommend getting in touch with Carl, you won't look back.

It was a pleasure dealing with Carl. He was diligent throughout the process and provided the optimal advice to us. He followed up at all times and ensured that the process was smooth right from the initial documentation all the way through to settlement. Highly recommend Carl for his services.
Nope, our service is free for most home loans. The lender pays us when your loan goes through, so it doesn't cost you anything to get our help and advice. If there's ever a fee for something special, we'll tell you upfront - no surprises.
As teachers, you face unique financial situations that big banks often don't understand - from casual teaching income to interstate transfers for positions. We specialise exclusively in helping teachers navigate these challenges. With access to over 2,000 loan products, we can find lenders who recognise your teaching qualifications as a strength, not a complication. We also understand the timing pressures of school terms and can work around your schedule, including completely online processes when needed.
Absolutely! We understand teachers' diverse financial needs. Beyond home loans, we can help with refinancing your existing mortgage to get better rates, investment loans for building your property portfolio, car loans (perfect for that reliable car to get to school), and construction loans if you're building your dream home. We also assist with first home buyer programmes specifically available to education professionals.
You might need less than you think! While 20% deposit is ideal, many teachers can buy with just 5-10% deposit. Some lenders will even waive mortgage insurance for teachers because they see you as low-risk borrowers. We'll find you the lowest deposit option that works for your situation.
Yes! Whilst banks might see irregular teaching income as high-risk, we know how to present your teaching experience and qualifications to lenders who understand the education sector. We can access the same competitive rates that permanent teachers get, and some lenders even offer special professional packages for qualified teachers. Your teaching registration and consistent work in education actually work in your favour with the right lenders.
All our mortgage brokers are fully licensed and accredited members of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia. More importantly, we've chosen to specialise exclusively in helping teachers because we understand your profession's unique challenges - from understanding pay scales and leave entitlements to knowing which lenders recognise teaching qualifications. We speak your language and know your industry.
We'll walk you through exactly what you need, but typically it's your employment contract or offer letter, recent payslips, bank statements, and proof of your teaching registration. If you're casual or relief teaching, don't worry - we know how to gather the right paperwork to show your consistent work history and make your application as strong as possible.
Moving schools is totally normal for teachers, and we work with lenders who get that. Whether you're chasing a promotion, going permanent, or just want a change of scenery, we'll show lenders that you're advancing your teaching career, not job-hopping. Your teaching registration and qualifications travel with you.
Great question! Teachers are often eligible for multiple benefits that can save thousands. This includes state-based first home buyer grants, stamp duty concessions, and some lenders offer exclusive deals for education professionals with reduced fees or preferential rates. We stay current on all teacher-specific benefits and ensure you don't miss out on any concessions you're entitled to as an education professional.
All of our Mortgage Brokers are accredited and members of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia. They are extremely professional and provide exceptional service across a range of lending options.
