Home Loan Broker Mentoring – Launch Your Mortgage Broking Career
Are you looking to break into the Australian mortgage broking industry or transition from banking into a high-earning independent broker career? At HQ Mortgage (located at 10/857 Doncaster Rd, Doncaster East VIC 3109), we offer structured, hands-on mentoring programs designed specifically for new-to-industry brokers across Melbourne, Victoria, and nationwide.
The New-to-Industry Broker Mentoring Roadmap
Becoming a successful mortgage broker requires more than just getting your Certificate IV and Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking Management. Our 24-month structured mentoring program bridges the gap between theory and real-world loan writing.
1. Compliance & Accreditation
Guidance through aggregator onboarding (AFG, Connective, etc.), obtaining your FBAA or MFAA membership, credit representative authorizations, and ASIC registration.
2. Scenario & Software Training
Hands-on training using leading broker software (BrokerEngine, Podium, ApplyOnline) and mastering lender policy matrices across Westpac, major banks, and non-banks.
3. Deal Structuring & Submissions
Learn how to interview clients, conduct needs analysis, calculate borrowing capacity, package credit quotes, and submit compliant loan applications.
4. Business Growth & Lead Generation
Develop sustainable lead-generation channels, digital marketing workflows, and referral networks with real estate agents, accountants, and financial planners.

While we are headquartered at 10/857 Doncaster Rd, Doncaster East VIC 3109, we support mentoring candidates across Melbourne and Victoria through a hybrid model combining virtual video sessions and in-person workshops.
How do commission splits and earnings work for new brokers?
