- Mission
Your Future Is Our Priority
Mortgage brokerages should exist to help clients build wealth through property by sourcing the right lender and right loan.
But, too often, perverse financial incentives skew that focus.
Broker compensation depends on loan size and lender choice – and, sometimes, whether they refer clients to third parties like real estate agents.
The result: the best interests of their clients don’t always come first.
In 2009, ALIC was founded to solve that problem.
Instead of fixating on individual loans, we focus on lifespan horizons:
Where do you see yourself in 10, 20 or even 30 years’ time, and which loans, if any, will help you get there?
That combination of long-term strategy and ethical lending is how we’ve helped over 36,000 Aussies realise their ideal futures – and how we can make yours happen too.
- Values
Our Commitments to You
Integrity
Our ethical lending philosophy means we only get paid by lenders post-settlement – never by third parties like real estate agencies.
Honesty
We believe in radical transparency: being open about our internal processes, how we’re compensated, and who we have commercial relationships with.
Client-Centrism
We always act in our clients’ best interests – even if financial incentives point the other way.
- History
Our Company
“ALIC was founded on the promise of ‘ethical lending’ – our North Star is long-term client satisfaction. We prioritise helping clients understand their long-term objectives and how wealth built through property can help them achieve those objectives.
From an incentives perspective, we minimise the risk of unconscious biases through a broad-based, diverse lender panel that includes both major banks and second-tier lenders. Our brokers receive the same commission percentage, irrespective of which referrals they make.
Importantly, we also connect our clients to other relevant solutions providers, such as buyers advocates and property advisers. By supplementing our brokers’ recommendations with advice from other qualified professionals, we ensure that our clients can make fully informed decisions about their financial futures, rather than relying on potentially biased information from a single source.”

Leading Property Investors Trust ALIC
Our clients share their experiences of transformation and growth.
Our journey with ALIC started 5 to 6 years ago when we purchased land and subsequently built our first home. Since then, we have continued our association with them, and it has proven to be a decision we do not regret. Their team not only provided financial guidance but also helped us build our wealth through a well-thought-out investment portfolio.
Trusting someone with your finances is a crucial decision, and ALIC has consistently demonstrated reliability. Their approach goes beyond transactional relationships; it's about building a lasting partnership.

There are lenders, banks and brokers, and then there is ALIC. Kevin Agent and his team are amazing in finding solutions for your business or personal needs. They helped me establish my business, sorted out my home loan and savings and helped me buy my new home without any stress or worry and financially my family has never been better.

Natasha has been an exceptional mortgage broker for us for the last decade. We have come to rely on her expertise implicitly and trust her completely. She has impressive efficiency. She always gives personalised guidance that suits our circumstances (which are complex), and she is honest when she thinks something is not a good idea. Lastly, she is so friendly and such a great communicator that every interaction is easy and enjoyable.
We've recommended Tash to all of our friends who have sought mortgages and they would all write something similar. Highly recommend.

Each Loan Settled Equals a Cleaner Ocean
Climate breakdown is the single greatest threat that Australia faces, and it’s not going away on its own.
That’s why we’ve partnered with WLTH and Parley for the Oceans to clean up 50 square metres of coastline for every loan that we settle*.
