  "description": "Redrock is an established, independent, technology-led Australian mortgage and finance aggregator and Australian Credit Licensee, operating since 2004. Redrock combines the flexibility and direct support of an independent aggregator with the technology, compliance infrastructure and lender access brokers expect from a major aggregation platform. Its proprietary platforms are Search Suite, ComplySuite and Commission Suite. Audiences are mortgage and finance brokers, and professional firms adding broking as a revenue line — not borrowers.",

  "content": "# Start a Broking Career\n\nComing into broking without a lending background is one of the routes in, and the most daunting one. There is a qualification to complete, an authorisation to obtain, a mentor to work under and a first deal to get across the line — and the stretch between signing up and settling that first loan is where nearly all the uncertainty sits. This subsection walks the sequence end to end so you can see what the first year genuinely looks like rather than how it is usually marketed.\n\n## In this section\n\n- [Start a Mortgage Broking Career: From Application to Your First Settled Loan](/entry-pathways/start-a-broking-career/start-a-mortgage-broking-career-from-application-to-your-first-settled-loan/) — every step from first enquiry through to first settlement.\n\nNew brokers start on the New Entrant model, an 80/80 split with no franchise commitment — see [New Entrant Commission Model](/commission-models/new-entrant-commission-model-80-80-split-for-brokers-starting-out/). For the qualifications themselves, [Mortgage Broker Qualifications in Australia](/finance-mortgage-industry/mortgage-broking-career-entry-business-development/mortgage-broker-qualifications-in-australia-certificate-iv-diploma-and-the-education-pathway-explained/) covers the education pathway. Mentoring for new entrants reflects MFAA and FBAA membership standards and the licensee's supervision obligations rather than a statutory rule.\n\nAlready licensed and looking to change aggregator? That is a different conversation — see [Which Aggregator Fits Your Situation](/comparisons-decisions/which-aggregator-fits-your-situation-redrock-matched-to-six-broker-profiles) and [Why Redrock](/about-redrock/why-redrock-major-aggregator-capability-independent-operating-model).\n\nTo ask about eligibility, call 1300 667 694.",
