LMI waiver eligibility
for chiropractors.
LMI usually applies above 80% LVR. Lenders that list chiropractors may waive it up to 90%, depending on their criteria.
Registration
Current registration as a chiropractor through AHPRA.
Experience and stability
Your time in practice and employment stability.
Income
Some lenders set a minimum income for the waiver.
Loan limits
Waivers often cap the loan size, which varies by lender.
AN EXAMPLE
A $750,000 purchase at 90%
| What you compare | Standard loan | With waiver |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | $75,000 | $75,000 |
| Loan | $675,000 | $675,000 |
| LMI | Usually payable | Waived if eligible |
| Eligibility | Standard | Registration and lender limits |
LMI is paid upfront or added to the loan; its cost depends on loan size, LVR and lender. Waiver policies vary and can change.

Buy sooner,
keep more savings.
A 10% deposit without LMI means less time saving and more cash left for furniture, a buffer or your clinic.

Check my actual optionsHOW YOU EARN
Associate, contractor
or clinic owner.
How you’re paid shapes which lenders and documents suit you. We match your income structure to lender policy.
CLINIC INCOME
Income that doesn’t fit a payslip.
Many chiropractors earn through contractor arrangements or their own clinic. Some lenders assess that income more flexibly than others.
Practice owners are usually assessed on one to two years of tax returns and business financials.
Salary or contract income
Payslips or contractor statements, with some lenders accepting shorter employment history for registered professionals.
Other paths
A family guarantee, a low deposit loan or a standard loan with LMI may still help you buy sooner.
Lender policies on health professional waivers and income vary and can change.
Let’s check your eligibility. We’ll match your registration and income to lenders whose policies fit.
