Who this guide is for

The real challenge

Casual healthcare income often involves significant casual loadings and shift penalties. Major banks discount casual income aggressively (often to 80%) and may not count weekend penalties at full value.

Specialist lenders count casual income at 100% with 12+ months' history.
