What's a Personal Loan
Understand how personal loans work in Australia and how they can help you manage larger expenses over time.
Personal Loans Explained
A personal loan in Australia is when a bank or lender gives someone a set amount of money that they agree to pay back over time. People usually take out personal loans when they need money for something important but don’t want to pay the full cost all at once.
For example, someone might use a personal loan to pay for things like a car repair, home furniture, a holiday, medical bills, or to combine other debts into one payment.
When someone is approved for a personal loan, the lender gives them one lump sum of money upfront. The borrower then pays the money back in regular repayments, usually every week, fortnight, or month.
These repayments continue for an agreed period of time, called the loan term, which in Australia is often between 1 and 7 years.
Each repayment includes two parts. The first part is the principal, which is the original amount of money that was borrowed. The second part is interest, which is the cost charged by the lender for letting someone borrow their money.
There are two main types of personal loans. A secured loan is when the borrower offers something valuable — like a car — as security for the loan. If they can’t repay the loan, the lender may take that asset. Because this lowers the lender’s risk, secured loans usually have lower interest rates. An unsecured loan doesn’t require any asset as security, but the interest rate is often higher because the lender takes on more risk.
Before approving a personal loan, lenders in Australia check things like a person’s income, credit history, and existing debts to make sure they can afford the repayments. This is part of Australia’s responsible lending rules, which are designed to help protect borrowers.
In simple terms, a personal loan is a way to borrow money now and pay it back gradually over time.

Personal Loan FAQs
Find answers to common questions about personal loans, debt consolidation, refinancing and repayment flexibility.
Yes, some lenders will consider casual workers and applicants on probation — but stability matters.
Getting approved for a personal loan while casually employed or still in a probation period is possible, although lenders will usually look closely at how consistent your income has been. If you’ve been working regular hours for several months in the same role or industry, your application may be stronger than someone with irregular or recently changed employment.
Bank statements and payslips are often used to show income stability.
Yes, many people use personal loans to combine multiple debts into one repayment.
A personal loan can be used to consolidate debts like credit cards, payday loans, and Buy Now Pay Later accounts into a single loan with one regular repayment. This can make budgeting easier and may reduce the total interest you pay if the new loan has a lower rate than your existing debts.
Lenders will still assess whether the loan is affordable based on your income, expenses and current liabilities.
Yes, personal loans can often be used for private purchases, not just store or dealer transactions.
Unlike some asset finance products, personal loans are flexible and can often be used to fund purchases made privately. This could include furniture, appliances, electronics, home improvements or other personal expenses where there’s no dealership or retail finance available.
The lender usually focuses more on your credit profile and ability to repay than on where you’re buying from.
Yes, refinancing a personal loan may help if your financial situation has improved.
Refinancing means replacing your current personal loan with a new one, often to secure a lower interest rate, reduce your monthly repayments or change the loan term.
It can be a useful option if your credit score has improved since you first applied or if your current loan no longer suits your needs. Before refinancing, it’s important to consider any exit fees, the new loan term and the total cost over time.
Sometimes — but it depends on whether the loan is fixed or variable and on the lender’s terms.
Some personal loans let you make extra repayments freely, which can help you pay the loan off faster and reduce the total interest charged.
Others, especially fixed-rate loans, may limit extra repayments or charge an early payout fee. If flexibility is important to you, it’s worth comparing loans that allow additional repayments and redraw facilities before applying.
