Home Loans & Finance for Pharmacists

LMI waivers up to 90% LVR for AHPRA-registered pharmacists plus the specialist pharmacy-purchase finance expertise that most brokers don’t have.

Pharmacists are AHPRA-registered and accepted under medico programs at most major lenders, with LMI waivers up to 90% LVR and premium interest rates. But the real It’s Medical advantage for pharmacists is on the business side: pharmacy purchase is one of the most specialised lending segments in Australia. Pharmacy ownership rules (the Pharmacy Board’s restrictions on ownership and partnership), goodwill valuation, prescription volume assessment and Pharmacy Guild member finance are all areas where generalist brokers struggle. We work across both your home and your pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do pharmacists get medical-pro home loan rates?

Yes — AHPRA-registered pharmacists qualify under medical-pro programs at BOQ Specialist, Macquarie, NAB and several others, typically with LMI waivers up to 90% LVR. Not all lenders include pharmacists in their top-tier medical programs, so the lender choice matters.

Yes — pharmacy purchase is one of our most specialised areas. We arrange purchase finance, partnership buy-ins, goodwill loans and combined home + pharmacy structures. The Pharmacy Board’s ownership restrictions make this lending unusual, and the right broker matters.

No — but Pharmacy Guild members do have access to some bespoke lender programs that may improve your terms. We compare both Guild and non-Guild lender pathways.

Yes — if you own a pharmacy (in whole or part), profit distributions and partnership income can be credited toward home loan capacity. The lender we choose affects how much.

Yes — locum pharmacist income is treated similarly to other locum medical income. The right specialist lender credits consistent locum work at full value.

Yes — and we often do. Refinancing both at once can release equity, optimise rates and simplify your overall financial structure.
