We structure debt recycling loans for Adelaide homeowners by phone and video. There is no Adelaide office, and we book every call in Adelaide time, half-hour offset included.
We have no Adelaide office. Calls are by phone or video, and in-person meetings are at Coorparoo, Brisbane, by appointment.
Adelaide is 30 minutes ahead of Brisbane from October to April and 30 minutes behind from April to October.
Any broker you use must be licensed, which you can check on the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) registers.
If your current loan cannot hold a clean split, refinancing costs go into the comparison before you decide.
Land tax and stamp duty on a South Australian investment property are handled by RevenueSA.
How We Work With Adelaide
Debt Recycling Loans is powered by Kingfisher Finance Group, the Brisbane mortgage brokerage led by founder Alex Gee. We do not have an Adelaide office. We work with Adelaide homeowners by phone and video, and in-person meetings are at our only office, 82 Leicester Street, Coorparoo, by appointment.
Our debt recycling guide explains the strategy step by step. The core idea: repay part of your home loan, then borrow that amount again through a separate split to invest, so the interest on the new split may become deductible.
Whoever you use, check their licence first. Moneysmart says brokers must be a credit licensee or credit representative, and suggests searching ASIC's professional registers before you meet. We are Authorised Credit Representative 522680 under Australian Credit Licence 387025.
Booking Across the Half Hour
South Australia (SA) runs on a half-hour time zone and uses daylight saving. Queensland uses neither, so the gap with Brisbane flips twice a year.
Period
Adelaide Compared With Brisbane
Example

30 minutes ahead
11 am in Brisbane is 11.30 am in Adelaide
First Sunday in April to first Sunday in October
30 minutes behind
11 am in Brisbane is 10.30 am in Adelaide
If you set up a joint call with your accountant or adviser, check which city's time the invitation shows. We call back within one business day of a request, by phone or video.
If Your Loan Cannot Split
Our panel of more than 40 lenders includes BankSA, People's Choice and Adelaide Bank, along with Commonwealth Bank, ANZ and NAB. We first check whether your current loan can hold a separate investment split.
If it cannot, refinancing may be worth comparing. Moneysmart lists the costs to weigh:
A discharge fee to close your current loan
An application fee on the new loan
A break fee if you are on a fixed rate
Lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) if you have less than 20% equity
We set those costs against the benefit before you decide. Our page on refinancing for debt recycling covers when a move tends to make sense.
Recycling Into SA Property
Some people use an investment split toward a property deposit instead of shares. If the property is in SA, RevenueSA handles two state taxes worth knowing about:
Stamp duty: a charge on certain transactions, including buying property.
Land tax: assessed on land you own at midnight 30 June, based on site value. Your principal place of residence is one of the common exemptions.
Rates and thresholds change, so check RevenueSA's current figures with your accountant before you commit. For the lending side, see our page for property investors using debt recycling.
Across Greater Adelaide
We can help homeowners anywhere in greater Adelaide, including the Unley, Burnside, Norwood Payneham & St Peters, Prospect, Holdfast Bay, Tea Tree Gully and Onkaparinga council areas, and the Adelaide Hills.
We make no assumptions about property values in any of them. Suitability comes down to your equity, income, tax rate, cash buffer and time horizon.
Keeping the Split Clean
Distance does not change the rule that protects the deduction: keep investment borrowing and private borrowing apart.
The investment split is drawn only to invest, then paid down.
Everyday spending, redraw and your offset stay on the home split.
Each new round of investing can sit in its own split, so the record stays clear.
See how we structure the loan for the full setup. We arrange the lending only: your financial adviser recommends the investments, and a registered tax agent should confirm your deductibility position.
The Bottom Line
From Adelaide, the main practical difference is the clock, which sits half an hour either side of Brisbane depending on the season. If your split will buy South Australian property, ask RevenueSA and your accountant about land tax and stamp duty first. A free call shows whether the lending side looks workable.

It depends on the season. Adelaide is 30 minutes ahead of Brisbane from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April, and 30 minutes behind for the rest of the year.

General information only, not financial, tax or legal advice. We are mortgage brokers and arrange lending; we do not recommend specific investments. Lender policy changes over time and is confirmed before any application. Debt recycling is a leveraged strategy that uses your home as security and can amplify losses. Any figures shown are illustrative, based on stated assumptions, and not a promise of any result. Consider your circumstances and seek advice from a licensed broker, financial adviser and registered tax agent.
1. Arranged a loan when our small business situation made it difficult to qualify. 2. Met requirements to have funding available by a specified date. 3. Understood my needs to setup debt recycling to allow tax structuring. 4. Communicated well throughout.
