Home Loans for Podiatrists
Podiatry is regulated under AHPRA and a number of Australian lenders include registered podiatrists in their professional lending programs. Tiger Mortgage helps AHPRA-registered podiatrists and podiatric surgeons explore the home loan options available for their profession and income structure.
Registration — Podiatry Board of Australia
Podiatrists and podiatric surgeons in Australia must hold current AHPRA registration under the Podiatry Board of Australia. Podiatric surgeons hold specialist registration.
Professional Lending — What May Be Available
Some lenders offer professional lending benefits — including LMI waiver options — to AHPRA-registered podiatrists. Podiatric surgeons, who hold specialist AHPRA registration, are generally included in at least as broad a range of lender programs as general podiatrists.
All benefits are subject to lender policy, your AHPRA registration, income, and individual eligibility. We assess your position across our full lender panel.
Income Structures We Work With
Podiatrists work across a variety of income arrangements. Tiger Mortgage works with:
• PAYG employed podiatrists in hospitals, aged care, or community health
• Private practice (sole trader, company, or trust)
• NDIS-funded podiatry practice income
• Combination of PAYG and private practice income

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a podiatric surgeon assessed differently to a general podiatrist?
Podiatric surgeons hold specialist AHPRA registration and are typically assessed at least as favourably as general registrants. Higher income levels associated with surgical practice may also improve lender assessment.
I operate a podiatry practice through a company — can I use this income?
Yes — company income from a podiatry practice is assessable with appropriate documentation. We identify the lender best suited to your business structure.
What documentation will I generally need?
For PAYG podiatrists: payslips, employment documentation, and AHPRA registration evidence. For self-employed: business financial statements, personal tax returns, and AHPRA registration evidence. Documentation requirements vary by lender — we guide you through what is needed for your specific application.
