Dentist Home Loans
Dentists often have employment and income structures that differ from standard PAYG arrangements. Depending on whether a dentist is working as an associate, contractor, practice owner, or employee, lenders may assess income and documentation differently.
Medimortgage works with dentists across Australia to provide information and structured support throughout the home loan process, including coordination with a range of banks and lenders.

Home Loans for Dentists
Dentists may work in a variety of professional arrangements, including:
​
-
Private practice
-
Group clinics
-
Associate or contractor roles
-
Practice ownership
​
Lender policies can differ when assessing applications from dentists, particularly where income structures include multiple sources, variable earnings, or business income. Documentation requirements and assessment criteria vary between institutions.
​
Medimortgage assists by coordinating lender information, documentation, and communication throughout the loan process.
Understanding Dentist Income and Lender Assessment
When assessing home loan applications, lenders may consider factors such as:
​​
-
Employment type and length of service
-
Income structure and payment frequency
-
Use of company or trust structures
-
Existing liabilities, including business commitments
How these factors are assessed depends on individual lender policies, which are subject to change.
