Check Eligibility Criteria and Application Process for Medical Loans Australia
A loan for medical expenses is a personal loan which comes under the Consumer Credit lending category. This sector is regulated by ASIC, which sets guidelines and regulations that lenders must observe with application requirements, documentation and approvals.
To be eligible for medical loans Australia, applicants must meet the criteria of:
- 18+ years of age.
- Permanent resident of Australia/NZ, or hold the required visa.
- Have a regular, taxable stream of income in Australia, which can be verified.
- Have a fixed residential address in Australia, which can be verified.
- Have a credit profile and history which can be reviewed.
A range of documentation regarding financial position must be provided in the application:
- Prove ID with documents such as passport, driving licence, Medicare card.
- Provide proof of income with recent payslips, income tax returns, etc.
- Provide details of liabilities including debts, credit cards and regular expenses.
- Detail assets.
- Bank statements.
Checking eligibility can be done by providing the necessary details and documentation to your Jade broker online or by phone. Once your eligibility for a medical loan is confirmed, the next step is providing full documentation for the application to be considered by our lenders and quotes sourced.
Your Jade broker will match your profile with the right lender to source a quote. Lenders have their own criteria for approving loan amounts and offering interest rates. The credit score is integral to achieving the best rates and preferred terms.
The purpose of the funding can also be integral to any offer made. Lenders may request details of the purpose for the healthcare financing such as details of the surgery, procedure or other treatment. In requesting this information, lenders will be considering the ability of the loan applicant to repay the loan. A point of interest to lenders, and relevance to the medical loan terms offered, may be if the applicant will not be able to work for a period, and hence not generate income, due to the treatment or procedure.
Providing information on taking time off with paid sick leave or vacation time, or arrangements made around generating income while undergoing the medical procedure and the recovery time, may expedite the loan approval process.
We provide a prompt service, with many medical financing applications approved within 24 hours. To check if you are eligible for a healthcare loan, contact us.
- Fast application approval – 24 hour turnaround.
- Prompt, streamlined service.
- Check eligibility online or by phone.

Consider Our Medical Loans with Other Funding Alternatives
Financing medical expenses with a personal loan at our highly competitive rates, can present a flexible and affordable way forward for many individuals. Comparing a loan with say using a credit card, can be extremely affordable. Interest rates on many credit cards can be much higher than our competitive personal loan rates.
Utilising savings may be an option for some. But where the medical requirements are urgent or the result of an accident or emergency situation, there may not be time to save up for the expenses.
Another consideration is what happens if you do nothing? For example, not proceeding with surgery may mean ongoing treatment for the condition over a long period. Treatment which itself may involve incurring ongoing expenses which over the long term, outweigh the costs of taking on a loan.

- Competitive interest rates.
- Flexible repayment schedule.
- Fast access to necessary funds.
