Mortgage and Finance broking can be one of the most rewarding careers available in Australia.  The ability to work flexible hours and earn a substantial income are some of the benefits of the industry, especially when the entry requirements to become a broker are simpler than other industries that offer similar rewards.

How Do I Become A Mortgage Broker?  

As a minimum requirement, most lenders now require you to have a Certificate 4 and become a member of an industry association, generally the MFAA (Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia ) or the FBAA (Finance Brokers Association of Australia). These associations will require you to have a Certificate IV in Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking) as will the National Credit Act  introduced in July 2010.
