\n\tWe are required to provide this document to you as soon as practicable after it becomes apparent that we are likely to provide credit assistance to you. We provide “credit assistance” when we:
\n\nsuggest or assist you in applying for:

\n\trecommend that you remain in an existing loan contract.
\n\t\n\n
PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT
\n\nPrior to providing credit assistance to you, we must assess whether the particular loan is “unsuitable”. A loan will be “unsuitable” based on the information you provided to us if:
\n\n1. You will be unable to repay the proposed loan or will only be able to repay the proposed loan with substantial hardship; or
\n\n2. The proposed loan does not meet your requirements and objectives.
\n\nWe are required to document our findings that the proposed loan is not unsuitable by way of completing a Preliminary Assessment. The Preliminary Assessment will set out your:
\n\nrequirements and objectives;
\n\tfinancial and relevant personal situation; and
\n\tability to repay the proposed loan.
\n\t\n\n
We are also required to take reasonable steps to verify information provided by you to us.
\n\nThis verification may include:
\n\nrequesting you for copies of documents that demonstrate your financial situation - in some cases we may also need to sight original documents; and
\n\tcontacting third parties to assist in verifying the information that you provide.
\n\t\n\n
If we provide you with credit assistance, you may request a copy of our Preliminary Assessment anytime for up to 7 years and we must provide you with a copy of the assessment within the following timeframes:
\n\nYour request is made:
\n\nWe will give you your assessment:
\n\tBefore the Credit Day*
\n\tAs soon as possible after we receive your request
\n\tUp to 2 years after the Credit Day
\n\tWithin 7 business days after we receive your request
\n\tBetween 2 to 7 years after the Credit Day
\n\tWithin 21 business days after we receive your request
\n\t*The Credit Day is the date the credit contract is settled or the credit limit is increased.
\n\nThere is no charge for requesting or receiving a copy of the Preliminary Assessment.
\n\n\n\n
FEES AND CHARGES THAT ARE PAYABLE BY YOU IN RELATION TO OUR CREDIT ASSISTANCE
\n\nWe may charge a fee for providing credit assistance to you. If applicable, details about those fees payable by you will be set out in a Credit Quote which we will give you prior to submitting your loan application.
\n\nYou may have to pay other fees and charges (such as application fees, valuation costs and other applicable fees) to the lender or other parties. You should review the particular loan contract documentation for further details of any such fees and charges.
\n\n\n\n
HOW DO WE GET PAID?
\n\nWe are paid commission from lenders in relation to loan contracts (such as home and investment property loans) for providing credit assistance.
\n\nAn upfront commission is payable by lenders in relation to settled (drawn-down) loans and is calculated as a percentage of the loan amount. It is usually paid after settlement of the loan.
\n\nTrail commission is payable by lenders in relation to settled (drawn-down) loans. It is calculated monthly on the outstanding loan balance and is paid in arrears.
\n\nThe upfront and trail commissions that we are paid by lenders are not payable by you. Details of commission to be received will be included in the Credit Proposal Disclosure document that we will provide you with when credit assistance is provided.
\n\n\n\n
From time to time, we may receive a non-commission benefit by way of training, professional development, entertainment, gift, conference attendance, sponsorship, or entry into a competition run by a lender aggregator, at no extra cost to you. The nature of such arrangements are temporary, and the occurrence and amounts are often not readily ascertainable, however if they are apparent as a result of assisting you with credit assistance, this will be disclosed to you.
