SMSF Loans for Police Officers

We understand that Police Officers often work irregular hours, shifts, and earn overtime pay, which can make income assessment tricky with traditional lenders. We work with lenders who understand police pay structures and will consider your base salary plus regular overtime, shift allowances, and penalty rates when calculating your borrowing capacity. We'll help you present your income in the most favourable way, using payslips and tax returns that show the consistency of your earnings over time, maximising your loan approval amount.

We understand that police officers work around the clock, and traditional business hours don't always suit your schedule. We offer flexible appointment times! Many of our brokers have experience working with emergency services and are happy to schedule calls or meetings around your roster. We'll work with your shifts, not against them, to ensure you get the service you need when it suits you.

If you've recently graduated from the academy or transferred between states, we can find lenders willing to consider your application based on your employment contract, training completion, and the secure nature of police employment. Some lenders may require confirmation of permanent employment, which we can help arrange.

We're familiar with various police housing benefits, including accommodation allowances, regional incentives, and subsidised housing programs available to officers. These benefits can positively impact your borrowing capacity when properly documented and presented to the right lenders. We understand which lenders will include these allowances in income calculations and how to structure applications to maximise their benefit. If you're transitioning from police housing to home ownership, we can also help navigate timing and financial planning around this change.

Typical documents include recent payslips, bank statements (usually 3-6 months), tax returns or tax assessments, photo identification, and details about the property you're purchasing. However, the exact requirements can vary depending on your employment type, loan amount, and chosen lender. We'll provide you with a complete, personalised checklist based on your specific loan type and circumstances, and help you gather everything efficiently to avoid delays in processing your application.
