We're Defence Home Loans, the mortgage broker exclusively for current and former ADF Members. We formed after hearing numerous stories of home buyers being forgotten about by the big banks, and even ignored by some of the big mortgage brokerages.
We're passionate about getting our clients the right home loan, investment loan, car loan or even construction loan. We have exclusive technology that helps us work with the majority of our clients completely online, but we're always here to chat if you need us.
As a Mortgage Broker we work with the major banks, smaller lenders and non bank lenders to get the right loan for our clients. We have access to more than 2,000 loan products from lenders across Australia so we're confident that once understanding your financial situation, we can find the best option for you. We can also give you a good idea of what products you will qualify for before you apply, meaning you won't impact your credit score or waste days waiting for a response.
Some of our recent reviews describe us as 'extremely professional', 'provide exceptional service' and 'do all the legwork'. We're also a proud member of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia.
If you're looking to buy, refinance, build or even buy a new car, Defence Home Loans is here to help. Feel free to book a time to chat with one of our Licensed Mortgage Brokers here to see how we can help.

Carl has been amazing to work with. He was on the ball straight from the start with knowing all the information I would need to provide. He was quick to respond while others would not return communication for weeks. He managed to secure me a great product in a short amount of time, even while we are on opposite sides of the country. I highly recommend getting in touch with Carl, you won't look back.

We specialise in a range of lending solutions including Home and Investment Loans, Construction Loans, Car Loans, Personal Loans and many other financing options tailored to ADF members' unique needs. Whether you're looking to purchase your first home, build a custom property, invest in real estate, or finance a vehicle, we have the expertise and lender relationships to help you secure the right loan.
Our mortgage broking service is typically completely free to you as our clients, as we receive our commission payments directly from the lenders once your loan successfully settles. We maintain complete transparency throughout the entire process by clearly explaining all potential costs upfront and ensuring you have a full understanding of any fees or charges before we proceed with your application.
ADF members often have complex income structures including various allowances and deployment pay that civilian mortgage brokers may not understand, but we specialise in presenting these effectively to lenders. We'll provide expert guidance on gathering the right documentation including payslips, allowance statements, and deployment records to showcase your complete financial picture in the strongest way.
All of our mortgage brokers hold full accreditation and maintain active membership with the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia, meeting the highest industry standards. Our team has earned a reputation for being extremely professional while providing exceptional service across lending options, specifically understanding the unique circumstances of current and former ADF members.
Absolutely - our advanced online technology platform works seamlessly with ADF members regardless of where you're currently stationed around the world. We can manage the entire loan application process remotely, maintaining regular communication and updates throughout your deployment to ensure everything progresses smoothly.
We completely understand that regular postings and relocations are an integral part of ADF life and plan accordingly when structuring your application. We work with lenders who are familiar with military requirements and can structure loans that accommodate potential moves and the unique flexibility that Defence personnel need.RetryClaude can make mistakes.
