Starting 1 October 2025, changes to the Australian Government's Home Guarantee Scheme will create unprecedented homeownership opportunities for nursing professionals throughout the country. This landmark expansion eliminates longstanding obstacles that have kept countless healthcare workers from accessing the property market.
The upcoming transformation of the Home Guarantee Scheme marks a turning point for Australian homebuyers. These reforms eliminate previous limitations on government guarantees, enabling every qualifying first-time purchaser to secure property with just 5% deposit whilst bypassing Lenders Mortgage Insurance requirements.
Unlimited Accessibility: Previous restrictive allocation limits have been completely removed. Nursing professionals can now participate without concerns about scheme capacity or missing application windows.
Removal of Salary Restrictions: Higher-earning first-time buyers now qualify for the Scheme, ensuring senior nursing staff and specialised practitioners aren't disqualified based on income levels.
Expanded Property Value Limits: Purchase price thresholds have received substantial increases across regions, matching contemporary market realities and broadening housing choices for buyers.
Streamlined Rural and Regional Process: The existing Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee merges with the primary scheme, creating a unified pathway for nursing staff in country and remote locations.
Updated price thresholds better align with Australia's housing markets, offering nursing professionals expanded property selections:
Sydney and NSW regional areas: Enhanced from $900,000 to $1,500,000
Melbourne and Victorian regional areas: Elevated from $800,000 to $950,000
Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast: Expanded from $700,000 to $1,000,000
Perth: Advanced from $600,000 to $850,000
Adelaide: Boosted from $600,000 to $900,000
These adjustments recognise significant property value increases in metropolitan and regional markets, preventing nurses from being priced out of communities where they serve and wish to reside.
More than 30 approved lenders participate in the scheme, encompassing major banking institutions, member-owned banks, and regional finance providers. Nurses planning to utilise the enhanced scheme should:
Begin accumulating savings:Although 5% represents the minimum requirement, additional reserves offer greater flexibility and peace of mind
Verify qualification status:Access Housing Australia's online eligibility checker to confirm programme requirements
Evaluate location options:Purchase limits differ considerably between locations
Obtain expert guidance:Engage mortgage specialists familiar with the scheme details and nursing sector employment patterns
Nursing professionals have historically encountered distinct mortgage approval challenges related to rotating shift schedules, overtime and penalty rate income verification, and diverse compensation structures across healthcare settings. The expanded Home Guarantee Scheme tackles these barriers by prioritising accessibility and minimising entry requirements.
Begin your preparation today rather than waiting until October 2025. Allow Nurse Loans to transform your homeownership aspirations into achievable goals.
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a conversation about your property goals - whether you're purchasing a home, investing, refinancing, or seeking another type of loan. Our Finance & Mortgage Brokers explain the overall loan application process, assess your financial position, and begin identifying suitable loan 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 determine your borrowing capacity and explain key terms like loan-to-value ratio (LVR), lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), and any government schemes or discounts you may be eligible for.
Loan Comparison & Selection
With a clear understanding of your financial situation, our Finance & Mortgage Brokers research and compare a range of loan options. These may include fixed or variable interest rate loans, products with offset accounts, or flexible repayment features. Our brokers help you weigh the pros and cons of each loan, ensuring you choose the one that aligns best with your needs and preferences.
Loan Pre-Approval
Securing loan pre-approval provides a clear idea of how much you can borrow and strengthens your position in the property market. Your broker prepares and submits the required documents - such as payslips, tax returns, and bank statements - to the lender for assessment. Pre-approval also gives you confidence to make offers when you find the right property.
Formal Loan Application
Once you've chosen your preferred loan, your broker completes and submits the formal application to the lender. They manage all required documentation, respond to any queries from the lender, and keep you informed throughout the process to avoid unnecessary delays.
Loan Approval & Settlement Preparation
After your loan is formally approved, our brokers review the loan agreement with you and confirm that all terms - such as interest rate, fees, and repayment schedule - are clear and understood. They also help you set up your loan account and arrange any necessary insurance, such as mortgage or home loan protection.
Settlement & Ongoing Support
At settlement, the lender advances the funds and ownership of the property is transferred to you. Our brokers coordinate with your solicitor or conveyancer to ensure everything runs smoothly. After settlement, our Finance & Mortgage Brokers remain available for ongoing support - whether it's managing repayments, exploring refinancing opportunities, or helping with future property plans.

My unconditional approval was rejected just two days before settlement in Aug 2025, and you can imagine the pressure at that stage. Luckily My team refer me to Azura Team and there I e- meet Mr. Carl Elsass. He took the case under his wings and after submitting requested documents in just two days I got unconditional approval and also refinance of one of my unit to make the settlement possible. He really did the work like he is doing for himself. This is only I can feel through out the process. I definitely recommend Azura for their dedicated support and very soon I will be getting into the next one. Thanks Azura for helping the community.

Refinancing your home or investment loan offers numerous benefits for nurses and midwives. One major advantage is the potential to secure a lower interest rate, significantly reducing monthly repayments. This helps manage finances more efficiently, freeing up funds for other essential expenses. Additionally, refinancing allows for adjusting loan terms to better fit individual financial circumstances, such as extending or shortening the loan term or changing the repayment frequency to align with income cycles. This flexibility empowers nurses and midwives to tailor their loans to their specific needs and goals. Refinancing also provides access to equity, enabling them to release funds for various purposes like home renovations, purchasing a vehicle, planning a holiday, or investing in additional properties. Consolidating multiple loans into a single facility simplifies financial management and may reduce overall interest costs. Lastly, transitioning from a variable to a fixed-rate home loan through refinancing offers the advantage of locking in a stable interest rate and repayment term, providing peace of mind amid fluctuating market conditions. Overall, refinancing presents nurses and midwives with valuable opportunities to optimise their loan arrangements and enhance their financial well-being.
