Planning a baby? Your home loan plans may need a rethink before your family grows. 🏡👶
For many families, having a baby marks the beginning of exciting new dreams—including finding a home with more space to grow. But what many parents don’t realise is that parental leave, changing income, and returning to work can influence how lenders assess a home loan application.

This expert guide explains how parental leave can impact your borrowing power, what information lenders may consider, the common mistakes that can delay approval, and the practical steps you can take to put your family in the strongest position.
Whether you’re planning your first baby, already expecting, or preparing to welcome another little one, knowing your options can help you make confident decisions for your family’s future.

Kiddipedia takes into consideration that the role of being a mum has changed dramatically over the years. For example, here are some figures that are driving trends across this demographic:
Australian women are having children later in life, with the median age now 31.3 years old, compared with 27.7 years ago when the median was 30 years.
More Australian mothers are working. Of those mums with children under 12, 55 per cent are employees while a further 11 per cent run their own business.
Female owner/managers are on the rise as well, with the volume increasing 7.6 per cent over 10 years and;
Four per cent of mothers with children under 12 are working more than one job.
Our parenting information website is designed to deliver advice that’s tailored towards these changes. We’re here to help mothers of all walks of modern life juggle the many aspects involved with raising a family.
We’re also the go-to as a leading useful website for dads
There are 4.6 million fathers out there in Australia, making up 20 per cent of the total population.But there’s also been changes here, too, with the days of dad going off to work and mum staying at home to raise the kids well behind us.
Currently, there are 156,000 single-parent fathers across the country, and 144,000 'House Hubbies' who stay at home to look after the children. Additionally, the length of time dads are spending with their newborn children is increasing as well, rising up to 33 days.
