NAB offers a Medico Policy that allows eligible medical professionals—such as doctors, dentists, optometrists, pharmacists, and more—to qualify for a waiver on Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) when borrowing up to 95% of a property’s value. This can make a significant difference in upfront costs and help you enter the property market sooner.

While it’s possible to apply directly with NAB, many borrowers choose to work with a specialist mortgage broker like Eden Emerald Mortgages. Their team knows the ins and outs of NAB’s Medico Policy, ensures your application is prepared correctly, and can compare options from over 40 lenders if another solution might better suit your needs. Best of all, their service is completely free for borrowers—they’re paid by the lender. Just fill out the short form below and a broker from Eden Emerald Mortgages will be in touch to discuss your next steps.

How to Apply for NAB Medico Policy LMI Waiver

To apply for a NAB Medico Policy, simply follow these steps:

  1. Check Eligibility: Find out if you are eligible, based on your profession, deposit amount, and desired loan amount. It is a good idea to speak to a mortgage broker who can help you determine eligibility, as well as guide you through the entire process. 
  2. Speak to NAB: If you use a mortgage broker, they will speak to NAB on your behalf, so you can skip this step. If you decide to apply for the Medico Policy by yourself, then visit NAB and tell them you want to apply for an LMI waiver home loan.
  3. Submit Documents: Provide any documents that are requested, such as proof or employment, relevant certification or registration for your profession, pay slips, bank statements and tax returns.
  4. Receive Confirmation: If you are approved, NAB will waive your LMI, and you can borrow up to 95% LVR without having to pay any LMI fees.
