What is a medical loan?
Medical costs can be highly expensive, even if you have private health cover. Thanks to Australia's world-leading healthcare system, most emergency surgeries won't cost you out of your own pocket.
However, you may face a time when you do have to pay for your medical needs, from smaller payments to larger, more important surgeries. Rather than worrying about withdrawing from your hard-earned savings to cover your medical bills, focus on your health and apply for a quick medical loan from Jacaranda Finance.
A medical loan is no different than any other personal loan: it's just a loan you use to pay for medical expenses, which you can specify in your application. These loans can be unsecured but you can also take out a secured medical loan by using an asset you own (such as a car) as security.
About our medical loans
Jacaranda's medical loans are one of top 10 most common reasons people apply for a loan with us, alongside loans for dental expenses. We offer medical loans from $3,000 all the way up to $25,000, with manageable repayments spread out up to as long as 48 months. Our interest rates are fixed as well, so you'll always know what you owe and where you stand.
As a 100% online lender, there's no hefty paperwork or long lines with us. Instead, we utilise state-of-the-art technology that allows you to:
- Complete your application in just 5-12 minutes1 depending on your circumstances;
- Receive a same-day outcome on your application2 if you apply during normal business hours; and
- Have the funds transferred to your account in under 60-seconds3 if approved (if you have an NPP-enabled bank account).

THE APPLICATION PROCESS
We Make Applying Easy
We know how important it is to receive your funds in a timely manner. As a hard-working Australian, you don’t have time to waste on needless paperwork.
That’s why our loan application process has been perfected over time to be as simple and quick as possible.
What can I use a medical online loan for?
Did you know that in 2022, the number of Australians delaying or avoiding medical treatment soared by nearly 50% due to cost? That's according to a report from the Productivity Commission, which also revealed that it has never been harder or more expensive to see a doctor and seek medical treatment.
Taking care of our health is becoming increasingly expensive, but it's often not something we can opt out of. That's where Jacaranda comes in. You can use a medical personal loan to cover any medical expenses you would prefer not to pay for outright.
Here are just a few of the most common reasons we receive medical loan applications.
Dental expenses
Elective surgery
Constructive surgery
Cosmetic surgery
Urgent or emergency surgery
Laser eye surgery
Non-surgical procedures
Specialist appointments
Medicines
Rehabilitation
Should I get private health insurance?
Whether you should have private health insurance or not depends on your situation. It can definitely help with certain medical costs and treatments depending on what you're covered for, and it also allow you to skip waiting lines and choose your own doctor in a private room. But it can also be costly to have a policy on an ongoing basis, and not everything is covered by private health.
For a detailed breakdown on the pros, cons and costs of both private health insurance and Medicare, see our article on whether you need health insurance.
