Aussie is a broker and a lender, with an extensive network of mortgage brokers across the country. Aussie brokers can help you compare a range of loans from lenders in its panel plus its own range of loans.
After being owned by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Aussie completed a merger with fellow broker group Lendi in 2021, forming the Lendi Group.
You need at least a 20% deposit to get many Aussie home loans, but it does have options for borrowers with deposits as low as 5%.
Here are the key features and details you need to know about Aussie's mortgage products.
Feature
Details
Minimum deposit
Many Aussie loans have 80% maximum LVRs. This means you can borrow up to 80%. But there are loans for borrowers with low deposits (that is, deposits below 20%).
Offset account?
Some of Aussie's variable rate loans come with offset accounts.
Most Aussie mortgages allow you to split your loan into fixed and variable portions.
How do I apply for an Aussie mortgage?
When applying for any home loan, you will need various documents to establish your identity, your financial situation, employment status and details about the property.
Eligibility
Each Aussie product has specific eligibility criteria but some will apply to all products. For example:
Age. You must be over 18 years of age.
Residency. You should be a resident of Australia.
Employment. You should have a regular source of income.
Documents required
When you apply for a mortgage with Aussie, you are required to provide certain information, so make sure you have all your documents ready before you apply. The documents you will be expected to provide are:
📄 Property details. You can start a loan enquiry before you've bought a property, but to complete an application, you need the address of the property and a signed contract of sale.
📄 Identification documents. You will need identification such as a driver's licence, passport or birth certificate.
📄 Proof of income documents. Recent payslips can establish your income.
📄 Asset and liability documents. You need to provide documents showing your current assets (such as savings accounts and investments) and liabilities (for example, any outstanding debt you may have).
There aren't many lenders like Aussie, being both a network of brokers and a lender – but here is a list of competitive lenders of various types to help you compare.

More home loan questions
To make sure you find the right Aussie loan, you need a clear idea of what you're looking for in a mortgage. These simple questions can help:
Do you need expert help getting a loan? Because Aussie is a broker network, its brokers specialise in helping confused borrowers get a suitable home loan. This is useful if you are not sure what you're doing or have a complicated borrowing situation.
Fixed or variable? Do you want the flexibility of a variable rate loan that could rise or fall at any time? Or are you happy to lock in a fixed rate for a certain period, so you can forget about rate changes altogether?
What features do you need? You need to decide whether you need features like a 100% offset account, the ability to make extra repayments and the option to split your rate.
Home loan pre-approval is an optional step in the application process that some lenders offer. Pre-approval means a lender has examined your savings, income and spending habits, and has a rough idea of how much it could lend you. It's not the same as full loan approval and it's no guarantee that the lender will ultimately approve a full application. But it does allow borrowers to start looking for a home with more confidence and a clearer idea of their borrowing power.
Pre-approval is not something every lender offers, but many do.
Most Australian borrowers bank with one of the Big 4 banks (CommBank, ANZ, Westpac and NAB). You might have some concerns about getting a loan from a smaller lender you've never heard of, but there's no reason to worry just because you've never heard of a lender before.
In Australia, banks and lenders are regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and must comply with the National Consumer Credit Protection Act.
Aussie is entirely owned by the Commonwealth Bank, Australia's largest bank.
Deciding between a fixed or variable rate depends on what you want from the loan. A variable rate loan can change at any time, either up or down. A variable rate usually offers more flexibility in how fast you can repay the loan and the cost of refinancing.
A fixed rate loan offers total certainty about your rate, for the fixed period. This means it won't rise, costing you more. But if your lender starts lowering rates, you won't benefit either. Refinancing a fixed rate loan means breaking the loan, because you've agreed to a specific rate. This means you may have to pay a fixed rate break fee.
Mortgage brokers are home loan professionals who can help you find a suitable loan. A broker typically charges you no fee, because they receive a commission from your lender. Brokers are great if you are short on time, or find the whole process of researching and applying for a home loan confusing. But you can definitely do it yourself and find a good loan. You may even find a better deal. That's because brokers don't compare loans from every lender in the market. They have access to a panel of loans and often don't have smaller online lenders in their panel.

The May cash rate decision was no surprise for most economists, but borrowers waiting for their interest rates to fall may have to wait longer than was expected a couple of months ago.
