Whether you're eyeing a sleek coupe or a high-performance convertible, we provide tailored solutions to help you get behind the wheel of a sports car that fits your passion for speed and style.
Off-road Vehicle
If your lifestyle includes weekend adventures and exploration, an off-road vehicle could be ideal for you. Nurse Loans offers specialised loans for off-road vehicles, perfect for nurses and midwives who love to explore Australia's rugged landscapes. Our off-road vehicle loans feature favourable terms that consider the unique demands of such vehicles, including higher durability and special maintenance needs. From 4x4s to all-terrain vehicles, we can help you find the right loan so you can embark on your off-road journeys with confidence. Whether it's for recreational use or navigating challenging terrains during emergencies, we'll support you in securing a robust off-road vehicle.
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a conversation about your vehicle goals – whether you're buying a new or used car, upgrading your current vehicle, or looking to refinance an existing car loan. Our Finance & Mortgage Brokers explain the car loan process, assess your financial position, and begin identifying suitable options from a wide panel of banks and lenders across Australia.
Financial Assessment
Your broker conducts a detailed review of your finances, including income, expenses, assets, liabilities and savings. They assess your borrowing capacity and explain key terms such as secured vs unsecured car loans, balloon payments, and how your credit history may affect your loan options.
Car Loan Comparison & Selection
With a clear understanding of your financial position, our Finance & Mortgage Brokers research and compare a range of car loan products. These may include loans with fixed or variable interest rates, flexible repayment terms, or features like no early exit fees. Our brokers help you compare the pros and cons of each option so you can confidently choose a loan that suits your budget and goals.
Car Loan Pre-Approval
Securing a loan pre-approval gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow and helps you shop for your next car with confidence. Your broker prepares and submits the required documents – such as payslips, bank statements and ID – to the lender for initial assessment. Pre-approval also puts you in a stronger position when negotiating with dealerships or private sellers.
Formal Loan Application
Once you've found the right car and chosen your preferred loan, your broker submits the formal application to the lender. They manage all necessary paperwork, respond to any lender queries, and keep you informed every step of the way to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Loan Approval & Settlement Preparation
When your car loan is approved, your broker reviews the loan agreement with you and ensures you understand all the key details – including interest rate, fees, repayment schedule and any conditions attached to the loan. They also arrange for the funds to be released, either to you or directly to the seller or dealership.
Settlement & Ongoing Support
At settlement, your lender disburses the funds and you’re ready to drive away in your new car. Our Finance & Mortgage Brokers work with all parties involved to make sure everything is finalised correctly and on time. After settlement, we remain available to support you with managing your repayments, refinancing, or future finance needs.

As a founder, getting a mortgage requires a couple more hoops to jump through, which is why I couldn't recommend Nick O'Sullivan and the Azura team more highly. Not only were they able to offer a seamless process, but Nick was also patient with us as we changed our minds about when to buy (over a period of years!). The truth is anyone can approach a bank and get a mortgage, but when things don't go perfectly (e.g. abrupt government changes), that's when you want a pro on your team like Nick.

As a first home buyer, Carl and the team at Azura were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They made everything feel straightforward and were always there to answer any questions along the way. I’ve already recommended them to friends and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a mortgage!

Nick and the team at Azura Financial exceeded our expectations at every step. Their guidance was clear, their expertise was evident, and they handled every financial detail with care — giving us complete peace of mind throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for a better team by our side. Thank you very much, V&V.

Nick O’Sullivan helped me with my first investment property purchase last year. As it was my first time, I had plenty of questions, but he was always happy to help and made the whole process seamless. I recently used Nick again to refinance my loan and secure a great interest rate, and once again everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Nick and his team and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Nick made the entire mortgage process seamless and stress-free. He was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to explain every step clearly. We always felt supported and confident in our decisions thanks to his guidance. Highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy mortgage broker
Nurses often have several pathways to buy with less than 20%. With an LMI waiver from a participating lender, eligible nurses can purchase with a 10% deposit and no Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Through the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme, nurses can buy with a 5% deposit and no LMI. Single parents and single legal guardians may be able to purchase with as little as a 2% deposit under the same scheme. Eligibility depends on your income, employment type, and the specific lender or scheme criteria.
Eligible roles typically include Registered Nurses, Midwives, Nurse Practitioners, and Clinical Nurse Specialists. Most lenders require a minimum annual income of $90,000 to qualify. Enrolled Nurses are generally not eligible for the LMI waiver, but they may be able to avoid LMI by purchasing through the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme instead. Criteria vary between lenders, and we can confirm which options apply to your role and income during a consultation.
It depends on the lender. Some lenders assess 100% of your overtime, shift allowances, and penalty rates as income, provided you have been with the same employer for a minimum of 6 months. Other lenders will discount this income by 20% or more, or exclude it entirely. The difference in how a lender treats your non-base income can affect your borrowing capacity by $50,000 to $60,000 or more. Because we work with over 70 lenders, we can identify which ones will give you full credit for the income you actually earn.
At most lenders, the LMI waiver can apply to the full loan as long as one applicant meets the professional and income criteria and holds a significant share of the application. Your partner does not typically need to work in healthcare, though each lender has its own requirements around how income and equity are split across applicants.
Casual and agency nursing income is treated differently depending on the lender. Some require a minimum of 12 months in the same role, while others accept 6 months with consistent hours. Certain lenders calculate casual income over a rolling 52-week period, which can work in your favour if your shifts have been steady. We deal with this regularly and can place your application with a lender that takes the most favourable view of your income structure.
At some lenders, self-employed nurses borrowing under their own name may be able to access the same products and rates as salaried nurses. Maximum loan limits and additional documentation requirements typically apply, so it is worth confirming your eligibility before you apply.
The scheme, formerly known as the Home Guarantee Scheme, allows eligible first home buyers to purchase with a 5% deposit without paying LMI. The government backs the gap between your deposit and the 20% lenders normally require. From 1 October 2025, there are no income caps, no waitlists, and no limit on the number of places available. The scheme has supported over 320,000 Australians since it launched in 2020. Eligibility criteria and property price caps apply, and we can confirm whether your purchase qualifies.
On a $600,000 property with a 10% deposit, LMI would typically cost between $15,000 and $20,000. On properties closer to $900,000, the cost can exceed $30,000. Nurses who qualify for an LMI waiver or purchase through a government scheme may not need to pay any of this, though savings depend on the property value, deposit size, and lender.
The entire process typically takes 8 to 14 weeks, depending on the property type, the lender, and whether you are using a government scheme. Government-backed purchases sometimes involve additional paperwork, and we manage that process to reduce delays.
The First Home Owner Grant is not profession-specific. Any eligible first home buyer purchasing or building a new home may be able to apply. Grant amounts vary by state, ranging from $10,000 in New South Wales and Victoria up to $50,000 in the Northern Territory. The grant generally applies only to new or substantially renovated properties that you intend to live in as your principal place of residence. We can confirm the current amount and eligibility rules in your state.
