MPAs' Top Mortgage Employers 2026 survey finds turnover easing, but pay, flexibility and career pathways now decide who stays
MPA is proud to announce the best mortgage companies to work for in Australia in 2026.
The 22 winners each achieved a staff satisfaction rating of 75 per cent or higher through anonymous employee surveys. Those surveys covered compensation, employee development, culture and work environment.
Bonus and incentive programs and flexible work ranked as the top two priorities across every age group surveyed in 2026. Career progression also emerged as a key driver of retention.
Among this year's winners are:
"When you almost double the size of a team in a year, you have to be very deliberate about protecting the culture that got you there in the first place," says Rachael Howlett, finance strategist team leader at Infinity Group Australia. The Gold Coast brokerage grew from 100 to 190 employees in 2025.
"Our aim is to provide meaningful support whether someone is starting their career, progressing into leadership, raising a family, caring for others or maintaining their wellbeing and professional growth," said Antonietta Sestito, chief people and marketing officer at La Trobe Financial in Melbourne.
