First Aid Finance

Your bank can only offer you their products. A broker searches across 30+ lenders to find what actually fits you.

People walk in thinking a broker is just a bank with a friendlier desk. Different job entirely.

A bank pitches what they have. One menu.

A broker sits on your side of the table and looks across a panel of lenders to find one that fits how you actually earn and live — not the other way around.

One conversation. One set of documents. Someone who does the running around.

General information only — this doesn't take your personal objectives, financial situation or needs into account. Consider whether it's right for you. Lending criteria, fees & conditions apply. Credit assistance provided under the applicable ACL. Aarash Salimi, Finance Broker.

You don't need a perfect financial history to buy a home. You need the right broker.

We work with clients who have:
⚡ Variable income (shifts, overtime, casual work)
⚡ Less than 2 years in their current role
⚡ A credit blip from years ago
⚡ Complex visa arrangements

Every situation is different. That's exactly why specialist brokers exist.

Finance, on call. 📞

That's what we're here for.

Not just when it's easy — but when the situation is complex, the income is non-traditional, or the bank already said no.

First Aid Finance was built for borrowers who deserve better than a form letter rejection. Our team works with nurses, allied health professionals, self-employed clients, and visa holders every day — people whose financial stories don't fit neatly into a box.

If that sounds like you, let's talk.

5 things lenders actually look at — and what to do about each one. 📋

1️⃣ Income stability — employment type matters as much as the number
2️⃣ Credit history — one missed payment isn't a life sentence
3️⃣ Existing debt — it's about the ratio, not the amount
4️⃣ Genuine savings — how long you've held your deposit matters
5️⃣ Visa status — some lenders are specifically set up for non-residents

Knowing how lenders think is exactly what a specialist broker is for. We've matched hundreds of clients — including nurses, physios, and new Australians — to lenders who said yes when others said no.

Not sure where you stand? Send us a DM and we'll give you a straight answer. 📩

A bank "no" isn't the end of the road — it's just a sign you need the right broker.

At First Aid Finance, we specialise in exactly the situations mainstream lenders aren't built for:
🩺 Nurses & allied health professionals
💼 Self-employed borrowers
🌏 Visa holders
🏥 Anyone who's been told it's "too complicated"

We know which lenders will say yes — and why. That knowledge is the difference between a declined application and settled finance.

3 questions for your broker.

If they can't answer these in plain English, you're with the wrong one.

1. How will specialist lenders actually read my income? (Not "you'll be fine." A specific read.)

2. Which lenders specialise in my situation? (Allied health, nurse, locum, sole trader — each has a different lender panel that moves fast.)

3. What's the approval pathway, step-by-step, in plain English? (If the answer is "let's see what comes back," that's a red flag.)

A good specialist broker answers all three without checking their notes.

A Vital Difference.

What's your next loan?

Comment the letter — we'll reply with the specialist playbook for your situation. No pitch. Straight read.

A — First home
B — Investment property
C — Practice expansion (buying in, setting up, or refurbishing)
D — Vehicle upgrade — personal or sole-trader

If you're a health professional, nurse or self-employed Australian, the playbook changes depending on what you're after. We'll walk you through the first move that actually works for lenders who understand your income.

A Vital Difference.

Shift work isn't "casual" work. The bank ticks a box. Your income tells a different story.

If you're a clinician moving between hospitals, a nurse on a rotating roster, or anyone whose work doesn't fit one payroll, the word "casual" on your pay slip can quietly cost you borrowing power — not because you earn less, but because the system doesn't know how to read what you do.

Specialist lenders see the career underneath. So do we.

If the last answer you got was "your income is unpredictable," that's not a verdict. It's the wrong broker.

A Vital Difference.

DM "READ" for a 15-minute look at how specialist lenders would actually read your income.

Your income doesn't look like a pay slip. Your broker should know that.

If you work shifts across multiple hospitals, run your own practice, contract, sole-trade, or earn on variable income — banks don't read you well.

That's not a problem for us. It's our speciality.

Allied health. Nurses. Self-employed Australians. That's the room we operate in.

Straight answers on what you can actually borrow. A Vital Difference.
