The RBA has left the cash rate unchanged at 4.35%

There are tentative signs that inflation is heading in the right direction.

The Board is not ready to declare the job done. In a recent speech, Governor Michele Bullock warned that underlying inflation remains too high and that “some further easing in the growth of demand is likely to be required” to bring it back to target sustainably.

If you’re wondering how a prolonged pause in the cash rate could affect your borrowing power or repayments, now is a good time to check in. Feel free to reach out.

Welcome to the team Hunter

Hunter Markham has officially joined Auspak full time as a Credit Analyst.

For the last six months he’s been up at 4am working, then coming in and doing a full day at the Pak. Not because anyone asked him to, but because he wanted to properly understand bank policy, credit assessment and how property buying actually works before stepping into the role.

He comes from a management background, and that shows in how he operates. Organised, calm under pressure, and genuinely good with people. From day one of full time he’s already been smashing out deals.

If you’re looking at buying your first property, get in touch with Hunter. He’ll walk you through what you can borrow, what the banks are looking for, and what your next step is.

Welcome aboard legend

The RBA has delivered a third consecutive rate hike.

Lifting interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.35%

Driven by high inflation and rising fuel prices, this decision pushes borrowing costs higher, directly affecting mortgages and savings rates.

If you’ve got a loan, it could be good to review your rate and structure. Reach out.

The Reserve Bank has increased the cash rate by 0.25% to 4.1%, as inflation remains above the 2–3% target range.

This outcome was largely expected heading into the decision, although it was a close call — with five board members voting to raise rates and four voting to hold.

Why the move:

• Inflation is still sitting elevated
• Energy and fuel prices have surged globally
• The economy is still showing limited spare capacity

What this typically means:

• Variable mortgage rates will increase
• Repayments rise (≈ +$90/month per $600k loan as a guide)
• Borrowing capacity may tighten slightly

The RBA has delivered its first rate hike in over two years, lifting the cash rate to 3.85%.

The hike has been driven by a combination of a stickier than expected inflation and a labour market that has remained tighter than many predicted.

The RBA has held the cash rate at 3.60% today, which was widely expected.

Following the decision, the RBA’s statement read: “While inflation has fallen substantially since its peak in 2022, it has picked up more recently.”

The board’s judgement is that some of the recent increase in underlying inflation was due to temporary factors and there is uncertainty about how much signal to take from the monthly CPI data given it is a new data series.

The next cash rate meeting will be held in February 2026….
