IT Professionals in Australia are increasingly treated as premium borrowers by lenders chasing high-income, low-risk clients. Because the technology sector offers strong salaries, consistent demand, and high job mobility, banks are willing to extend borrowing terms well beyond what a standard PAYG assessment allows.
Reduced or Waived Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)
Standard buyers must pay LMI if their deposit is under 20%. Lenders running "professional package" offers waive or discount this fee for IT professionals earning above set income thresholds, even with a smaller deposit.
Full Recognition of Bonuses, RSUs and Allowances
Standard assessments often shade variable income to 80%. Specialist lenders count 100% of performance bonuses, stock-based compensation (RSUs), on-call allowances, and shift differentials toward your borrowing capacity.
Contractor and Day-Rate Income Accepted
Many IT professionals work as contractors rather than permanent employees. Lenders experienced with the tech sector use your day rate, contract length, and renewal history to calculate income, rather than requiring two years of continuous PAYG employment.
Higher Borrowing Caps
Because tech salaries are consistently above-average and in high demand, IT professionals frequently qualify for higher loan amounts than a standard employee on the same base salary.
Combining with Government Schemes
Your profession-based perks can be stacked directly with standard government concessions to maximize your leverage:
Buy a property with only 5% deposit without paying LMI.
Depending on your state, first home buyers can access full or partial exemptions on land transfer duties.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Am I eligible for government grants?

Eligibility for First Home Owner Grants and stamp duty concessions varies by state and depends on factors like property value, whether it's new or established, and your residency status. We'll assess your situation and help you understand exactly what you qualify for.
- How much deposit do I need?
-
Most lenders require a minimum 5-20% deposit. The larger your deposit, the better your loan terms typically are. We'll explain your options, including Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if you have less than 20%, and help you create a deposit strategy.
