Home Loan With Two Jobs in Australia: Combining Income for Maximum Borrowing

Mortgagefy Broker Team · Published · Last reviewed

Working two jobs to save faster? Some lenders count both at 100%; others discount the second. Lender choice makes a huge difference.

Who this guide is for

Australians working a primary job plus a secondary job (PAYG, casual, or ABN) wanting to combine income for home loan borrowing.

The local picture

Two-job income is more complex for lenders. Most need 6-12 months' history of the second job to count it. Some lenders count second-job at 80%; others 100%. Some don't count it at all.

Wrong lender choice can mean $100K+ less borrowing capacity.

Frequently asked questions

Will banks count both my jobs as income?

Some lenders count both at 100% with 6-12 months' history. Others discount second job to 80% or won't count it at all. Lender choice matters significantly.

I have day job + Uber side. How is rideshare income counted?

Specialist lenders count rideshare income via BAS or tax returns. Some accept 12 months' BAS; others want 2 years tax returns. Combined with PAYG, this often boosts borrowing significantly.

How long do I need at the second job?

Typically 6-12 months for full income recognition. Some lenders accept 3 months for casual second jobs.

Should I quit my second job for simpler application?

Generally no — second-job income is real income that increases borrowing. Better to find the right lender than abandon the income.

I work two healthcare jobs at different hospitals. Will banks accept that?

Yes — multi-employer healthcare casual is acceptable to many lenders. Some specifically handle healthcare casual well.
